Losing To A One Outer

Just as I was thinking it had been awhile since I took a brutal beat, it happened last night - I'm playing $10 NL and have King, 5 of diamonds in the big blind.

No raises, I check to see the flop of 6d, 9s, 10d...I've got the King high flush draw and want to see where i'm at - I bet the pot and get called by 2 players. Next card is my flush card, Jd. I know that the Ace flush might be out there, but the 2 callers are pretty loose and could have anything at all - I bet 1/2 the pot, 1st guy calls but last person goes all in for about $8. I've seen that player call/go all in with very marginal hands, so I call the all in. The 2nd player also calls all in. 3rd player shows Q,7 diamonds and the 2nd player shows Q,J os for a straight (like i said, loose callers). Right as i'm counting my very nice $25 pot, the river comes up the 8 of diamonds and the 3rd player hit their straight flush on me. I couldn't believe it. And they were SO proud of themselves - They typed in "WHEEEEW" like I almost had them worried...They are going all in with the 3rd best flush and 1 out to beat me - and they act as if it was some great play....brutal
