Action was on the river and James Chen was first to act from the small blind. The board was {2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{J-Spades}{3-Spades}{A-Diamonds} and Chen checked over to Jack Sinclair who was on the button. Sinclair put out a bet of 15,000 into the pot of 17,200 and Chen dropped into the tank.

Chen thought through the hand for a couple of minutes. The bet was for the remainder of his stack. Eventually he settled on calling. Sinclair showed {9-Spades}{7-Spades} for a turned flush.

"I almost folded," Chen said, showing {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

With that, Sinclair took down the pot and moved to almost 45,000 chips.
