Diamonds are Not Marc Karam's Best Friend

Stud:

Marc Karam was all in on third against James Van Alstyne.

Karam: {7-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {J-Clubs} {Q-Spades}
Van Alstyne: {A-Spades} {4-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}

Somehow Karam had a straight-flush draw on fourth and managed to brick three consecutive streets despite being 3-1 favourite on fourth. Perplexed, he went to the rail after Van Alstyne managed to catch a pair of aces on fifth and it was just enough.
