Chronis Flushes Opponent Out of the Tournament

Patrik Antonius hasn't given much action yet at the feature table, but his opponents are making up for it. Sitting in the big blind, Chris Chronis made it 1,100 to go preflop after an early-position player raised to 200 and had been called in two spots. Only two of those three players called Chronis' race, taking a flop that was all diamonds, {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}. Everyone checked to the turn, which came {7-Hearts}. Chronis led out for 3,000 chips, bringing the action to the player on his left, who moved all in for about 8,000. After the third player folded out of the way, Chronis made the call.

Chronis: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {7-Spades} {7-Diamonds}

Chronis' opponent turned a set of sevens and held one blocker against Chronis' combination flush-and-set draw. With one card to come, he looked good for a double-up, but a non-repeater diamond -- the {9-Diamonds} -- hit the river, eliciting a slight gasp from the rail. Chronis apologized to his opponent but didn't seem too sorry to collect a pot of roughly 19,000 chips. He's up to roughly 38,000.
