Dan Shak Catches Chartier

We caught the action on the flop but are led to believe that Dan Shak opened from the hijack seat and Sam Chartier called in the big blind. The flop contained more clubs than a Neanderthal's kitchen cupboard - {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {J-Clubs} - and all hell broke loose. Chartier moved in with the check-raise for 110,000, Shak moved all-in for 516,000 and Chartier called.

"You have a flush?" Shak asked.

Chartier did indeed have a flush and Shak had some catching up to do.

Shak{Q-Clubs} {J-Hearts}
Chartier{4-Clubs} {3-Clubs}

Turn: {2-Clubs}

Shak hits a higher flush and needs to fade the straight flush outs to double up.

River: {4-Diamonds}

Shak had momentarily vanished (he didn't want to look) but is called back to meet and greet his new 1,000,000 stack.
