Alaei Can't Fade Flush Draw

[user101598]

The board read {4-Hearts} {j-Spades} {3-Spades} when we reached Table 38, and three players had cards including John Andress, and Daniel Alaei. Andress and Alaei both had 1,750 invested, when a third player moved all in for 9,900. Andress tank-folded, but Alaei made the call.

Opponent: {k-Spades} {7-Spades}
Alaei: {6-Spades} {6-Hearts}

The {8-Diamonds} on the turn was a brick, prompting Alaei's opponent to rap the table and gather his things. Before he could stand though, the {8-Spades} slammed on the river, giving him a winning flush. Alaei smirked at the comical act, then cut out 8,000 chips to send across the table.
