Ulf Carlberg Eliminated in 8th Place (A$9,500)
Ulf Carlberg raised to 800,000 from under the gun and Andrew Samoa called from the button.
Both players saw the 3♥6♣6♥ flop get spread across the table and Carlberg continued with a bet of 1,700,000, leaving himself just over 4,000,000 behind. Samoa took some time to think about it and eventually called.
A 4♥ brought in the front door flush draw and Carlberg tapped the table over to Samoa, who rechecked his cards before he bet 3,800,000. Carlberg had the decision for his tournament life and after mulling it over, he put his remaining 4,200,000 into the pot. Samoa called.
Ulf Carlberg: 7♥7♦ 
Andrew Samoa: A♥9♥
Samoa had turned the nut flush, but it wasn't over as Carlberg had full house and straight flush outs! However, none of those outs appeared when the A♠ landed on the river, ending Carlberg's run in the Diamond Cup.
