Neil Channing opened to 35,000 from middle position, and the action checked to Cary Marshall in the big blind. While he was in the tank, Channing tried to goad him into moving all in.
"Come on," Channing said, grabbing a stack of green T25,000 chips. "Do it. If you're going to win, you have to double."
"I'll choose when I do it," Marshall returned.
"Good plan," Channing shot back, grinning.
"How much is it?" Marshall asked the dealer. "Thirty-five?"
"Or more if you want," Channing jabbed.
Marshall called, and the flop fell 
. After a few seconds of deliberation, Marshall moved all in for around 90,000, and Channing snapped him off.
| Marshall |   |
| Channing |   |
Channing was in great shape, but both the turn (
) and river (
) were clubs, giving Marshall an ace-high flush.
He doubled, while Channing is still floating around 1 million chips.
