Chan Hits a Diamond to Hurt MacDonnell
Level 27
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
A giant pot emerged between Daniel Chan (cutoff) and Marc MacDonnell (button) as they faced off on the turn reading 
.
Chan fired roughly a pot-sized bet, and MacDonnell called to boost the pot up to 1,400,000.
The river 
completed a diamond flush draw, and Chan pulled the trigger again. He set the price at 780,000, putting MacDonnell to a tough decision. MacDonnell thought for a moment and then lifted his cards a little. He looked to be ready to fold, but did the opposite in the following seconds.
Chan liked MacDonnell's call, turning over 
for the rivered nut flush. MacDonnell paid him off and continued with 1,580,000 himself, while Chan jumped up the leaderboard, now playing 3,900,000.
