Diaz Making a Charge

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Blake Cahail started the action with a raise to 5,200 from middle position, and David Diaz flatted on the button. In the small blind, Dan O'Brien squeezed in a reraise to 17,700, and that shook Cahail off his hand. Diaz had other ideas, though, reraising all in for 91,700 total. O'Brien made the call with his big stack, but Diaz was the one with the better hand.

Showdown
Diaz: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}
O'Brien: {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}

O'Brien never found anything to sweat as the board came {4-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} to give Diaz the double. He's all the way up to 194,600 while O'Brien's stack is dashed nearly in half, down to 102,000.

Diaz, we'll remind you, already has one no-limit hold'em bracelet this summer.
