Diamonds Are a Girl's Worst Enemy

Albert Iversen had just moved to Table 15, and it took no time at all for him to get into a big pot.

He limped in from the small blind, and Sarah Bilney checked her option in the big. The flop came out {J-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}. Iversen led out with a bet of 2,500, and Bilney bumped it up to 7,000. She told us she was sure she was ahead at this point in the hand. Iversen wasn't so convinced though, as he came back over the top with an additional 14,500 chips. Bilney moved in for the rest of her chips, about 47,000 total. Iversen called, and the hands were revealed:

Iversen: {5-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}
Bilney: {Q-Hearts} {J-Clubs}

Sarah Bilney's assessment of her opponent was spot on. Unfortunately for her though, the {6-Diamonds} peeled right off on the turn, making Iversen a flush and leaving her drawing dead. The river was a meaningless {4-Hearts}, and all of Bilney's chips got pushed over to Iversen.
