"I could've had the most chips in history!"

These were the words coming from Sam Trickett after he was forced to fold a hand that would've turned out to be a major winner. The action was recalled to us by the excited table as apparently three players were all in on a flop of {4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Sam Trickett was the fourth player in the hand but was unable to continue with his nut flush draw after Mikael Thuritz moved all in.

Trickett folded and it was top two pair for Thuritz in the lead against pocket queens and {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for the second nut flush draw.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds} to complete the flush and leave Trickett devastated as the river fel the {J-Hearts}.

Trickett couldawouldashoulda had 900,000 but instead the pot was shipped across the table. Trickett is at 475,000 with Thuritz at 250,000.
