Lyndaker Likes Suited Connectors

Richard "nutsinho" Lyndaker raised to 3,400 from middle position only to have Eldon Diamond move all in from the cutoff for 13,400. The blinds both folded and Lyndaker made the call.

Showdown
Lyndaker: {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Diamond: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

Lyndaker was far behind, but the {2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} did deliver him a pair of sevens. Combine that with the {7-Spades} turn, and suddenly Lyndaker was in a dominating spot. The {K-Clubs} river changed nothing and Lyndaker sent Diamond to the rail here in Level 11.
