Weissman and Boyd Winning

We don't know exactly what happened, but with a {4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} board exposed Joey Weissman was being pushed a double up. Weissman had {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for the flopped straight. We don't know what his opponent had, but we know it couldn't beat Weissman.

A table over sits Dutch Boyd who happened to be playing a hand as well. The flop read {3-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{6-Spades} and both players checked. The {Q-Diamonds} on the turn brought a bet of 1,200 from Boyd. The later position player moved all in and Boyd snap called.

Boyd: {3-}{3-}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Boyd has his opponent drawing dead and was going to take down yet another pot.
