 | Kassem Deeb was born in Beirut,
Lebanon, but has since relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada. At the Bellagio, he
is known as a regular high-stakes player – an activity he refers to as
“investing”. Most people remember Deeb from his appearance on the World
Poker Tour where he went all-in with As-Kd against Gus Hansen who called
with (Qd-10s). The first card was an ace but it was followed by two queens
and Deeb was gone. In a post-game interview Deeb said that he wished he
could play against Hansen every day for the rest of his life - a
not-so-veiled jab at Hansen's supposed inferior playing
ability.
