Cary Katz raised to 5,000 from the hijack and Ben Lamb called from the button. Zach Hyman, who was on his second bullet, then three-bet to 21,000 from the small blind and Katz called. Lamb got out of the way and the flop came down {2-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

"Diamond check," Hyman said before looking back at his cards. Katz, who hear the word "check," then tapped the table for what he thought was a check behind.

The dealer asked Hyman if he had checked, and since he hadn't he opted to bet.

"I'll keep it small," he said before betting 10,000. Katz quickly min-raised to 20,000. "All in," Hyman responded, which committed his stack of approximately 90,000. Katz snap called.

Katz: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Hyman: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

It was a bad spot for Hyman as Katz had flopped top pair with a better diamond draw. The {6-Diamonds} turn gave Katz the nut flush, and Hyman had no recourse but to exit the tournament area after the meaningless {3-Clubs} was run out on the river.
