Chan's Draw Doesn't Come In

Johnny Chan is making a spirited fight in the High Rollers Event as he tries to reach the final table and the money. Sitting in the small blind, he called a raise by Xuan Nguyen to 2,900, then checked a flop of {8-Diamonds}

. Nguyen made it 6,000 to go, but Chan wasn't messing around. He put his whole stack in the middle, an effective bet of 21,000 back to Nguyen. Nguyen made the call and the cards were opened:

Chan: {K-Diamonds}

Nguyen:

Both players showed suited kings that had connected with the flop. Nguyen made top pair while Chan had an overcard and a flush draw. He lost all of those outs when the turn came {J-Hearts}

to make a full house for Nguyen. The river was the {5-Clubs}

.

Chan still has 50,000 chips. Nguyen doubled to 65,000.
