Dattani Becomes Diamond Dust
We're down to 32 players now, and we've just broken another table. In the first hand in the new seats, we picked up a pot between Michel Dattani and João Paulo Simão. The latter was the one who opened with the first raise, and he ended up four-bet shoving when Dattani played back at him. Dattani put his last 255,000 into the middle, and he was in a dominating spot for a double.
Showdown

Dattani:
Simão was nervously grinning at the spot he'd gotten himself into, and he piped up, "Going to need some help here."
Just as he spoke, the flop came barreling out to end the hand right there. Simão got greedy as the hit fourth street, and he asked the dealer for the jack of that suit just for good measure. The river was the , and the regular old queen-high flush is still plenty good enough for Simão.
He's sent Dattani off in 32nd place, chipping up toward the million mark in the process.
