Chidwick Can't Catch a Flush

Level 7 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The flop read {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and both Stephen Chidwick in the big blind and David Einhorn in middle position put 525,000 in the middle before the turn card was dealt.

On the {6-Diamonds} turn, Chidwick led out for 800,000 and Einhorn made the call. The {2-Spades} completed the board and Chidwick opted to check. Einhorn checked behind and Chidwick rolled over {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for a missed flush draw and a pair of deuces. Einhorn tabled {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for two pair and scooped the pot as his rail gave a fair celebration.
