Diamond Freerolls, Hits Big

[user38449]

On a flop of {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

with 40,000 or so already in the pot, Richard Furay moved all in for just under 50,000 in chips and was called by Gary Diamond who tabled {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

for an up and down straight flush draw. Furay turned over the same hand, but in diamonds, meaning the worst case scenario for Diamond was a chopped pot.

The worst for Furay, however, was that a club would fall, giving Diamond a flush and that's exactly what happened when the {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

popped off on the turn.

The river, though irrelevant, was the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

and Furay was eliminated from the tournament. After the hand, Diamond stacked up just over 300,000 in chips.
