On the turn of the {K-Diamonds}, Chan again checked to his opponent, who bet out 23,000. Chan made the call.

The river fell the {5-Spades} and once again Chan checked to his opponent, who bet out 58,000. Chan once again made the call.

Chan showed {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts} and his opponent showed {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs}.

After the hand, Chan moved up to 336,000 in chips.
