Nicholls Turns a Flush to Double Up
Level 4
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Andrea Radicchi raised from middle position with Kai Nicholls calling from the next seat, and Jeannette Mendez calling on the button. Martin Vittek squeezed it up to 3,700 from the small blind, which was called by all of his opponents.
Four ways to the J♠7♠6♣ flop that saw Vittek fire out for 5,400 and only Nicholls called to see a turn.
Vittek jammed for Nicholls' remaining 23,000 on the 6♠ turn, and Nicholls instantly called.
Kai Nicholls: 8♠5♠ 
Martin Vittek: Q♠Q♥
Nicholls had turned a flush and just needed to dodge a spade, queen, or six on the river to double through Vittek. The 2♣ rolled off to complete the board, and Nicholls doubled up with a flush.
