Dieckhoff Runs Into Cleaver's Aces
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 2♦Q♦8♣, Ronald Cleaver bet 75,000 from the cutoff before Riley Dieckhoff shoved all in for around 400,000 in the small blind. Cleaver called to put him at risk.
Riley Dieckhoff: Q♣J♣
Ronald Cleaver: A♦A♥
Dieckhoff had flopped top pair but walked right into Cleaver's aces and was at serious risk of his Main Event coming to an end. The 10♣ turn gave him a flush draw, but he missed the K♠ river.
"You had to give me a pair," Dieckhoff said before collecting his payout slip.
