Diebold Surprises Lytle on River
Level 12
Ben Diebold: 
/
John Lytle: 
/
With several bets in the middle already on seventh street, Ben Diebold checked to John Lytle, who bet.
Diebold then check-raised his opponent, who called.
"I'm full" said this year's $10,000 Dealer's Choice champion, who then rolled over another nine and deuce in the hole for deuces full of nines.
Lytle mucked his hand and is now on a short stack, while Diebold has been on a heater as he is now among the chip leaders.
Meanwhile, at an adjacent table, the third place finisher in the $10,000 Dealer's Choice event Brian Rast was eliminated.
