Diaz-cending the Comeback Trail

After taking that knock earlier with the straight vs. flush hand, Gilbert Diaz has been pushing to double up this level. He's had his stack in twice in the last orbit alone - once pushing in on the river of a {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {4-Spades} {K-Diamonds} board vs. Eric Sadoun (no call) and then tangling with Tyron Krost like so:

Davidi Kitai raised to 750 preflop and picked up Krost on the button and big blind Diaz. On the {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} flop it was checked to Krost who bet 1,500, called by Diaz alone. The {2-Diamonds} popped up on the turn, prompting another check to Krost, a bet of 3,300 and then a swift move-in from Diaz. Krost went into that face-covering praying position often taken up by poker players faced with tough decisions and paused, but eventually decided the 6,750 more was too much. Another pot for Diaz.
