Personally, 5 handed I would raise preflop there from the button, and as you are obviously not folding if a 3rd diamond hits, why not get it allin on the flop? Make opponent pay maximally to hit their draw...
Sounds a bit like they would have still called there maybe, so same end result, but I am thinking a 14K pot is still nice if they fold...
I doubt they seriously considered T4 in your limping range? Maybe not even a T... Thats a perfect spot for the button to take an orphaned pot (paired flops), so they could have thought perhaps only overcards??
But if your opponent thought you would still put all your chips in when they spike the 3rd diamond, its not bad play at all. Had a discussion of this a couple of weeks ago with Caleb, in that instance I folded (not quite pot odds to call), but I knew my opponent well and that he would not give me any more of his chips if the flush completed (also this was on the turn not flop, but...), otherwise I would have called.
