Wolpert: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}

The flop ran {4-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} and Ben Yu was on the rail calling for a diamond. The turn came {K-Spades} and Yu only started yelling louder. Wolpert smiled at Yu's enthusiasm and stayed calm. The river peeled {6-Diamonds} and Wolpert doubled up.
