Lyle Diamond

The money bubble was in a long grind.

15 rounds of hand-for-hand before we had our first all-in called and it was a big one.

With the board reading KhTd2h in a three-way pot, Harrison Ruggiero moved all in from the small blind. Anastasija Zavorotnaja was in early position and called at risk for 113,000. Lyle Diamond in the hijack also called for his last 108,000 and then they waited for the rest of the table to finish their action before flipping over their cards.

Diamond: KcKd
Zavorotnaja: TcTh
Ruggiero: Ah5h

It was set-over-set between Diamond and Zavorotnaja and they both needed to dodge hearts or we’d have a trouble bubble KO.

The 9d turn and Qs river finished the board for Diamond to triple up, Zavorotnaja was knocked down very shot, and Ruggiero still had chips to battle.

Lyle Diamond – 336,000 (56 bb)
Anastasija Zavorotnaja – 5,000 (1 bb)
Henry Ruggiero – 150,000 (25 bb)
