Diebold Surprises Lytle on River

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.
