Santos Stays Alive Thanks to Diamonds
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
An under the gun player opened the action and David Santos, seated to his left, moved all-in for just under 12,000. The table folded around to the small blind, who reshoved with a covering stack. The big blind was away from the table.
The original raiser folded his hand, leaving Santos and the small blind going into a preflop showdown.
David Santos: A♦9♦ 
Small Blind: J♦J♥
The flop came 5♦10♦2♥, giving Santos plenty of outs with the nut flush draw. The 2♦ on the turn completed his flush and the 3♥ river was a brick, earning him the double up.
