Diaz the Magician Checks Back
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
David 'Lefty' Diaz opened to 55,000 and was called by Venkat Chivulkula and Benjamin Rose to see a flop of 2?2?5?.
All three players checked and went to the turn 10?, which saw the action check to Diaz, who bet 60,000 and was called by Rose.
On the river 10?, Rose checked once more and Diaz thought for a bit and checked back.
"Aghh!" Rose exclaimed as he flipped over 10?9? for a rivered full house. and then Diaz rolled over what he checked back... 5?5?, which got a wild reaction from the table as to how he didn't go broke.
"You're a magician!" tablemate Gabriel Andrade said, shaking his head.
