Aces for Diaz
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
In a blind-on-blind battle between Martin Diaz and Alex Keating, the latter had raised to 25,000 from the big blind after a limp from Diaz. Diaz then three-bet to 100,000 before Keating four-bet jammed, covering Diaz's 318,000 chips. Diaz called quicker than lightning and the cards were tabled.
Martin Diaz: A♦A♣
Alex Keating: 2♥2♦
The flop brought a big sweat when 10♥7♥9♠Q♥ rolled off, but the K♠ river did not complete Keating's flush draw. Much to the relief of Diaz, his aces held up as he soared up the leaderboard and received a stack of double the average.
