Walsh Crippled Then Eliminated

Yong Chen was all in preflop with {A-Spades}{3-Hearts} for about 60,000 against the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} of Dan Walsh. Chen was in serious trouble and needed help, which was delivered on the {6-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop. The {J-Clubs} turn changed nothing and neither did the {2-Clubs} on the river. Chen doubled to 140,000 while Walsh was knocked down to just 40,000.

Shortly thereafter, Jason Cluxton raised to 18,000 from middle position and Walsh moved all in for 38,500. Action folded back to Cluxton who made the call:

Cluxton: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Walsh: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}

Once again Walsh was in a dominating position but the {Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} flop gave Cluxton a royal flush draw! The {5-Clubs} on the turn left Cluxton drawing to an ace, ten or any diamond. The dealer burned and put out the {7-Diamonds}, completing the flush. Cluxton won the pot and is up to 250,000 while Walsh was eliminated from the tournament.
