Diebold Draws More Blood
Level 24
Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
A three-way poker "bloodbath" just developed which has seen Ben Diebold solidly establish himself as the chip leader.
Diebold raised to 80,000 in the cutoff and was called by Brian Rast on the button and Christopher Claassen in the big blind.
Claassen drew three, while the others each drew two.
After Claassen checked, Diebold bet 200,000 and was called only by Rast.
The players each drew one, and after he checked his cards, Diebold quickly announced, "pot".
Rast now faced a bet of 700,000 chips, which represented over half of his remaining stack.
Rast took some time before opting to fold and preserve his chips, as Diebold has now crossed the four million chip mark.
