Flush on the River

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Valentin Vornicu was in early position and raised to 50,000. A player in middle position moved all in for 356,000. Ravi Shanmugam was in the small blind and also moved all in for 364,000. Vornicu thought for a minute and called as he said, "I have one of my favorite hands."

Ravi Shanmugam: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Valentin Vornicu: {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
middle position opponent: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The flop was {7-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, and Vornicu was looking good. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}, giving a flush draw to Shanmugam. The river completed things with the {9-Diamonds}, and Shanmugam made his flush, knocking out the middle-position player and taking some chips from Vornicu.
