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.
