Gill Flushes Chan
"That looks like death," remarked Gill.
All three players checked through to the turn. The small blind again checked. Chan bet 1,200, bringing a raise from Gill to 3,800. The small blind folded, but Chan called after taking about 20 seconds to think through his decision. The river came . Both players checked.
"I might have rivered you," said Gill. "I have a flush. Three-high." He opened .
Chan grimaced and shook his hands in frustration. He flipped his cards to the dealer face-up, showing for a turned Broadway straight. The dealer killed his hand and started to push the pot to Gill.
"I had a flush," joked Chan. "Two red cards, right?"
As he was stacking yet another pot, Gill told Chan, "My friend was wrong about you. Your bet sizing. He said when you bet the same on the flop as you did preflop, it's a good spot to raise you. It was completely wrong this time."
"You got away with murder," agreed another player at the table.
Murder or not, Gill now has about 76,000 in chips while Chan has dropped to about 13,400.
