Chidwick Can't Catch a Diamond

With around 28,000 in the pot and a board reading {5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{Q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Stephen Chidwick and Ranj Sheena created a monster pot that resulted in the latter being all in for right around 60,000.

Showdown
Sheena: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Chidwick: {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

Sheena was ahead with deuces and queens, but needed to dodge a diamond on the river to stay alive. That's exactly what he did as the {J-Hearts} blanked on the river.
