Chidwick Goes Pot-Pot, Gets Paid in Flush-over-Flush

Level 20

PLO

Chris Vitch raised it up to 225,000 with {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Stephen Chidwick defended {Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}.

Both players checked the flop to come to the turn reading {K-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Chidwick hit a second nut-flush while Vitch had two lower club cards of his own. Chidwick potted it for 450,000 and Vitch called.

The {6-Hearts} changed nothing and Chidwick fired a pot-sized bet again, making it 1,350,000. Vitch smelled problems but he figured out he couldn't let his flush go: "I can't imagine I'm supposed to fold," he said and then threw in the calling chips. Chidwick showed the goods to wound his opponent who dropped to 885,000.
