Diamond Dusted Off by Chase

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Lyle Diamond checked from early position on the A910 flop, and John Chase bet 5,000 from a few seats over. Diamond check-jammed for 28,200, and after a brief pause, Chase called.

Lyle Diamond: AQ All in
John Chase: AK

Both players had top pair, but it was Chase's superior kicker that had a stranglehold on the hand.

The J turn and 6 river were no help to Diamond, and he became another Day 1 casualty of the Main Event.
