Diamond Market Is Flooded, Loses Value

With the board reading {K-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} Andy Miles led out for 6,000 before Mark Hallet moved all-in for about 24,000.

Thomas Merved moved all-in behind him and Miles called both pushes.

Merved: {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} for a flush draw.
Miles: {8-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} for a straight flush draw.
Hallet: {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} for top pair and the best flush draw.

And with only five diamonds left, it was looking very good for Hallet and his hand held on the {7-Clubs} turn and {8-Clubs} river. However Merved was knocked out due to the river as Miles took home a very small sidepot as a result.

Hallet is up to about 75,000.
