Diebold Tanks For Ladder, But Gets Triple Instead
Level 20
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ben Diebold had moved in for his last 40,000 from the hijack and Johan Schultzpedersen called from the small blind and Robert Mizrachi called from the big blind.
''Take your time boys'', said Diebold, as he hoped if he lost he would make a ladder on the payouts.
The blinds both checked the 
flop.
When another 
fell on the turn, Schultzpedersen lead and Mizrachi instantly folded.
With no side pot Diebold said ''I'll be p***ed if I'm not ahead'', flipping over 
, which had Schultzpedersen's 
in bad shape. The irrelevant 
completed the board, tripling Diebold up and then some.
