For most of the tournament, Diakokomninos�� surname has been larger than his chip stack, but somehow he��s managed to squeak his way into the final nine. His key moment was when he made a flush with {k-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} against an opponent��s pocket jacks to stay alive and reach this final table. However he has some work ahead of him, as he enters with the second shortest chip stack.
