A Bouya-Flop But River Disaster

Steve Bouya opened with a raise to 600 before Morry Edelstein popped it up to 2,200. Aytunc Tezay cold-called the raise from the blinds and Bouya came along as well to see a flop of {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

Tezay checked and Bouya led out for 2,600. Edelstein then announced he was all in for 6,500 in total as Tezay tanked before releasing (what he later claimed was pocket jacks). Bouya instantly called and the cards were tabled.

Edelstein: {A-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Bouya: {3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Edelstein had the nut flush draw but he'd need to connect as Bouya showed a flopped straight and straight-flush draw!

The turn was the {2-Spades} but the river found another diamond as the {7-Diamonds} landed to give both players a flush but Edelstein's ace-high flush took it down. He doubles to 26,000 as Bouya falls to 14,000.
