Diaz Becomes New Chip Leader

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
David Diaz
David Diaz

From middle position, Nicholas Rampone raised and David Diaz three bet. Action folded back to Rampone who moved Diaz all in. Without much hesitation Diaz made the call to put his tournament life at risk in a coin flip situation.

Diaz: {A-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Rampone: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

Rampone was ahead but not by much. The two were effectively flipping for the tournament chip lead and Rampone stayed ahead on the {4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop. However, the turn brought Diaz his help when it fell the {Q-Hearts}. The river was a scare card in the {5-Diamonds} but ultimately bricked Rampone who doubles Diaz to 1.25 Million. Rampone is now down to 795,000.
