Nuts with Redraw no Good

Flopping the nuts with {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} might have seemed like a good double up opportunity for short stack David Baker, especially as he was up against a King-high flush draw only in the hands of Anthony Maranca (according to our original seat plan which is becoming obsolete as the 300 remaining players move about). But the {4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop which enticed the stacks in received a {2-Diamonds} on the turn and the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} stayed good (even though the all-in was still not strictly drawing dead). The river was the {Q-Spades} and as the minutes tick down to the dinner break, the field finally slips under the 300-person mark.
