No Helpping It

"Great players don't always win. Because the game is ruled by luck!" Thus spoke David Saab at the bustout of Juha Helppi just now.

Having clawed back up to 21,000 after winning a sizable pot with {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} which made what appeared to be a backdoor flush, his bustout hand must have seemed somewhat like diamond deja vu.

Helppi had overbet the pot on the turn with top pair top kicker (he held {A-?} {K-?} ). Philippe Saint-Andre made the call with {J-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} , which was at the time a pair of jacks and a flush draw. The {5-Diamonds} came on the turn, completing his flush and sending Helppi to the rail.
