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
Simão: {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}
Dattani: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}

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 {9-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} to end the hand right there. Simão got greedy as the {8-Diamonds} hit fourth street, and he asked the dealer for the jack of that suit just for good measure. The river was the {9-Spades}, 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.
