Tough situation. I think the villian probably has a diamond and missed his hand. I think you should be willing to die with this hand.

I'm not so excited about the strength of the hero's hand. An earlier poster commented that he thinks A6 is possible here. How about 65, 55, 54? How about a smallish flush? The guy is the chip leader and it's a $10+1, so I think that any of these could be possible holdings, and I think that they are probably equal in number to the number of hands he could be holding that we beat. So I'm not entirely sure that I would want to go out swinging with this hand.

I agree with checking, and I'd probably call a moderately sized bet, but fold if he pushes.
