Evan Pays Bill

With about 30,000 in the middle and a board showing {2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, Bill Chen bet 15,000 from the big blind and Evan McNiff called from late position. The river brought the {5-Hearts}. This time Chen bet 25,000, and McNiff again called.

The showdown revealed Chen had turned a flush with {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, beating McNiff's rivered trips with {K-Spades}{5-Spades}. Chen is up to 230,000, and McNiff down to 180,000.
