Off to the Races for Sahamies' Tournament Life

Ilari "Ilari FIN" Sahamies shoved all in under the gun for 604,000 and received a call from JC Alvarado. The rest of the field got out of the way and the cards were turned up.

Showdown

Sahamies{A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Alvarado{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

It was a coinflip, but Sahamies was in need of some help. The {Q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop didn't hit him directly, but it did make him a 52% favorite with a flush draw and two overs. The {8-Spades} turn missed him and dropped his chances to 32%, but that was all he needed as the {6-Diamonds} spiked on the river to fill his flush.

With that, Sahamies jumped into fourth-chip position.
