Childs Catches the Flush

Lee Child and an opponent got it all in on a board of {5-Spades}{K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}. Childs held {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for the nut straight and his opponent held {Q-Spades}{j-Hearts} for the same straight.

The river brought the {8-Diamonds} and Childs was able to improve his hand from the straight to the flush and his heartbroken opponent was forced to make his way to the rail.
