Stephen Chidwick raised to 520,000 in the small blind and Cary Katz announced "call" before tabling QQ.

Katz still had 150,000 behind and went to the flop with his hand exposed. The flop absolutely smacked him as it landed 4QJ to give him top set. Chidwick checked and Katz moved all in, giving Chidwick a trivial fold despite the excellent price.

"I just cost myself 150,000," said Katz before repeating his mantra about it being a "flesh wound" for Chidwick.

"I could've gotten there," Chidwick replied.
