A Diamond In The Rough

[user57954]

On a flop of {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

{A-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

with action on every street, Stephen McCann pushed the rest of his chips into the already enormous pot against Gary Diamond. Diamond went into the tank with a decision that would make or break his tournament. He eventually made the call with {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

for two pair, which were just enough to beat the two pair of McCann who held {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

.

The pot worth 90,000 chips has catapulted the man with a name made for poker, Gary Diamond, into a commanding chip lead!
