Blood Diamond

Usually when we pass by a table with an all-in pot being contested while two players have tabled identical hands, there's nothing noteworthy to report.

Unfortunately for James Anderson, the board rolled out with the dreaded four-flush, nullifying the predictable chop and sending a match-saving pot to David Einhorn.

Both players held the same hand with {A-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and {A-Spades}{q-Hearts}, but the hand with the highest diamond belonged to Einhorn. After a final runout of {7-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} was dealt, Einhorn's diamond flush gave him the double and kept him from falling into a 0-1 hole early in the tournament.
