Set Flushed Down the Drain for Siljander

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There were five players who witnessed the {7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{q-Spades} come on the flop with about 12,000 in the pot when Kristjan Sotnik led out for 4,000.

Mathias Siljander called before Antti Suominen jammed for 25,800. It folded back around to Siljander, who made the call.

Mathias Siljander: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Antti Suominen: {8-Spades}{7-Spades}

Siljander was ahead with a set and needed to fade a spade or runners for his opponent to hit a full house.

The tables turned quickly after the {j-Spades} came on the turn to complete Suominen's flush. Siljander didn't improve to a full house after the {6-Diamonds} came on the river and he doubled his opponent.
