Riding the Ziigmund Rollercoaster

Ilari Sahamies went from 40k to nearly out just now as a couple of hands shrunk his stack to the all-in-preflop sort of size. The most dramatic was against Dennis Phillips, who called two streets with {A-?} {J-?} , 2,200 on a {J-?} {6-?} {6-Diamonds} flop, and 6,800 on a {Q-Diamonds} turn. Both players checked the {Q-Spades} river and Phillips' Jacks were good - Sahamies held {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} for a worse-kickered pair which had picked up a flush draw on the turn which failed to materialise.

Moments later and Sahamies had the rest of his stack in preflop with Tens against David Williams' Kings - but a turned Ten saved his bacon and gave him another shot at chip accumulating in this last level of the day.
