After a bet in front of him on a board of J♠2♥Q♥4♠, James Chen raised in the cutoff and was called by Matthew Wantman in the big blind and Dylan Lambe under the gun.

The river was the 6♠ and Chen bet. Both opponents called.

Chen then turned over A♦A♠9♠3♦ for the nut flush and nut low. "Don't you just like when you raise the turn and make it on the river?" tablemate Chino Rheem said to Chen.

"I wanted to fold the turn so bad," Wantman lamented as he was short on an extreme short stack.
