Diamond Check Leads to Zach Hyman's Elimination
Cary Katz raised to 5,000 from the hijack and Ben Lamb called from the button. Zach Hyman, who was on his second bullet, then three-bet to 21,000 from the small blind and Katz called. Lamb got out of the way and the flop came down .
"Diamond check," Hyman said before looking back at his cards. Katz, who hear the word "check," then tapped the table for what he thought was a check behind.
The dealer asked Hyman if he had checked, and since he hadn't he opted to bet.
"I'll keep it small," he said before betting 10,000. Katz quickly min-raised to 20,000. "All in," Hyman responded, which committed his stack of approximately 90,000. Katz snap called.
Katz:
Hyman:
It was a bad spot for Hyman as Katz had flopped top pair with a better diamond draw. The turn gave Katz the nut flush, and Hyman had no recourse but to exit the tournament area after the meaningless was run out on the river.
