Diamonds Everywhere

In a battle of the blinds, Hoyt Corkins called a raise to 5,000 from the player in the small blind. The flop came all diamonds, {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}. The small blind checked and then called a bet of 6,000 from Corkins.

Both players silently tapped the table to check the {4-Diamonds} turn card. The small blind checked a third time when the river was the fifth diamond on board, {3-Diamonds}. Corkins took down the pot with an uncalled bet of 10,000, then flashed the {2-Diamonds}, drawing a few chuckles from the table.
