Is it Destiny?

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

Early we explored Andy Santiago and his proclamation that he is going to win this tournament. After seeing this hand you might become a believer.

A short-stacked player moved all in for 4,100 from middle position and another shorty re-shoved for 7,150 behind him. The action folded to Santiago in the big blind who quickly called, putting both players at risk.

Shorty 1: {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Shorty 2: {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Santiago: {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

The {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{j-Hearts} flop didn't change much, but the {6-Diamonds} on the turn gave Santiago a flush draw and both Santiago and the other opponent with five-four a gut-shot straight draw.

Amazingly the {7-Diamonds} spiked on the river, giving Santiago a winning flush and knocking both players out of the tournament. Santiago is back among our chip leaders with 90,000 chips in front of him.
