Whyte Scoops; Diaz Eliminated
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Russell Diaz chose to shove for his last 80,000 from under the gun. The table folded around to Lawrence Whyte on the button, who shoved for more for a total of 131,000. Stuart Pfeifer called both players from the big blind to put Diaz and Whyte at risk.
Russell Diaz: A♥10♦
Lawrence Whyte: Q♠Q♦
Stuart Pfeifer: A♠K♥
Whyte was in good shape against Diaz and Pfeifer, but the 2♦3♠4♥ flop gave Diaz and Pfeifer additional outs to a straight.
Whyte faded any pitfalls when the J♥ turn and the 7♠ river peeled off.
