Chan Back to Concentrating on the Cards

Now that the basketball game is over, Johnny Chan has actually been seated for several minutes running.

In his latest action, he and two opponents built a big pot preflop, and the three players saw the flop bring {8-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}. The first player to act bet the pot, 5,850, and the second opponent called. Johnny Chan also called, all in for his last 2,900.

Chan's two opponents went on to play a side pot without him, with the turn card coming the {6-Hearts}. The player with the lead bet out the maximum again, this time all in for 5,275. His opponent called having him covered, and the three men turned over their hands:

Chan: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {4-Clubs}
All-in Opponent: {7-Hearts} {7-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}
Calling Opponent: {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}

Johnny Chan spiked his flush on the river, when the {2-Diamonds} gave him the ace-high flush. He more than tripled up, and now sits at 14,600 after being down early.
