Diamonds are For Doubling

We join the action on the flop in a multi-way pot over on Table 50. The three community cards in the middle of the table are {6-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}. Action is on Becerra, and he bets out all in for his last 5,525. It comes to Flasterstein, and he reraises to 12,000, successfully isolating himself against the all-in player. With everyone else ducking out, the hands were turned up.

Showdown:
Becerra: {J-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}
Flasterstein: {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts}

Becerra was looking for a diamond or running straight cards, and he found one of his outs on the turn. The dealer peeled off the {2-Diamonds}, vaulting the at-risk player into the lead. The river was a useless {6-Hearts}, and Becerra earns a double up through Flasterstein.
