the way the hand was played, I'm not too concerned about a flush.

What in the play of the hand leads you to that conclusion?

Why would he bet into the PFR on the flop with a flush draw?

Because of the principle: "if you are going to call a bet, it is better to bet yourself"? What if the BB held 10d9d? That would mean he had 15 outs = about 60% equity. 8d7d? 9 outs = roughly 36% equity.

LMP and SB would have to be quite foolish not to raise their flush on the turn

Why? There was a bettor and a raiser on the flop indicating someone might hold a pair, so it seems reasonable to me that one of those players would bet the turn to prevent any single diamond holding from getting a free card to make a flush on the river.

So, how do you analyze that hand beyond "I think this.."?
