Diamonds Are Ylon's Best Friend

Stud:

Joining a heads-up pot between Ylon Schwartz and Zimnan Ziyard on fourth street.

Schwartz: (x-x) / {J-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} / (x)
Ziyard: (x-x) / {J-Spades} {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {3-Spades} / (x)

Ziyard bet his lead on fourth, then called a raise from Schwartz. On fifth, Ziyard tried a check-raise, but Schwarz raised right back to three bets. Ziyard called, and Schwartz got his last 24,000 chips in on sixth.

When Ziyard called, Schwartz revealed {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} , having made his flush on the first five.

"You have a flush already?" Ziyard asked. Yep. "Am I drawing dead?" Yep. Ziyard's {9-Hearts} river was no use, and Schwartz made his seven-card flush with his {8-Diamonds} . He's doubled, and now Ziyard could use one of those for himself.
