Diaz Stuns Tarlev on the River
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Petru Tarlev and Alberto Diaz went to the turn on a board of 5♣8♣6♥9♦ when Diaz bet 10,000 from the button. Tarlev then raised to 30,000 in the small blind, and Diaz moved all in. Tarlev quickly called.
Diaz showed 6♣6♠ for a set, but Tarlev had a straight with 7♦3♦. The river, though, brought the 9♣ to improve Diaz to a full house.
The stacks were counted down, and Diaz had Tarlev's remaining 55,000 narrowly covered to earn him the knockout. Diaz pretended to wipe the sweat off his brow and put his hands atop his head in disbelief while the pot was pushed to him.
