Barksdale Calls with a Diamond

Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
In a heads-up pot between Nick Barksdale and Donald Nimneh, there is close to 550,000 in the middle with a board that read 10♦3♣6♦Q♦9♦ when Nimneh bet 275,000.
Barksdale went into the tank for a good while, pondering this decision, as he and Nimneh had a lot of history in pots.
"Ugh... Nice hand," Barksdale sighed as he tossed out the calling chips.
"I don't have a diamond," Nimneh shook his head and tabled Q♣4♥ for a pair of queens, but Barksdale flipped over 8♦9♣ for a rivered eight-high flush to take down the substantial pot, adding to his chip lead.
