Rast Can't Shake Chidwick

Level 14 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Brian Rast opened from under the gun and Stephen Chidwick three-bet to 225,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Rast who called to see a flop of {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Rast check-called a bet of 175,000 from Chidwick and the {10-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

Rast checked again and Chidwick pushed in another bet of 500,000. Rast check-raised to 1,000,000 but Chidwick stuck around to see the {8-Clubs} on the river. Rast checked for the third time and Chidwick checked behind. Rast turned over {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a missed flush draw and Chidwick tabled {j-Spades}{9-Spades} to scoop the pot.
