Chisholm Makes a Flush to Double Through Roche
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Action folded to Kevin Roche in the cutoff, and he raised to 60,000. Once it folded to William Chisholm, he defended the big blind.
The flop came K♥2♦J♣ and Chisholm check-called a bet of 90,000 from Roche.
The turn brought the 6♦ and Chisholm checked to Roche, who bet 325,000. Chisholm then took some time before announcing all in for 800,000. Roche confirmed the stack and made the call to put Chisholm at risk.
William Chisholm: K♦8♦ 
Kevin Roche: K♣9♠
Both players had a pair of kings, and Roche was ahead with his bigger kicker. But Chisholm also had the flush draw as outs to beat Roche, and when the 3♦ hit the river Chisholm made the flush to double up.
