Stern Sends Chawla Packing

Myles Phago
Myles Phago
Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action folded to Shawn Stern on the button who raised to 120,000 and was looked up by Nikesh Chawla in the big blind.

The flop came 10♦2♦4♦ and Chawla check-raised Stern's 85,000 continuation-bet to 225,000 and Stern made the call.

On the 6♠ turn Chawla moved all in for around 550,000 and Stern snap-called.

Nikesh : K♦4♣ All in
Shawn Stern: A♦A♣

Both players had a pair and a flush draw but Chawla was totally dominated and needed to hit his two pair or trips to stay alive. No such luck on the 7♦ river which gave both players the flush but Stern the nut flush to send Chawla packing.
