Paul Snead

Paul Snead opened to 40,000 from the cutoff and Dakota Diaz called in the big blind to see the Jh8s3s flop. Diaz checked, Snead continued for another 50,000 and Diaz moved all in with the bigger stack. Snead called and the hands were tabled.

Snead: Ks9c
Diaz: QsTs

Our two-time TPC Champion was 2-to-1 to win on the flop and 4-to-1 after the 2d turn. But Diaz binked a 9d river to make a queen-high straight and loudly celebrated.

“Suck out king!”

Snead fell short of his third Tampa Championship and they field was down to 24.

Dakota Diaz – 1,300,000 (65 bb)
Paul Snead – Eliminated in 25th Place ($4,050)
