Scroll down to find Flash under Permissions.
Finally, on the right of the Flash option, click on the down arrow followed by the Allow option.
Now, reload the page to reflect the changes on that particular website.

Note: Flash will automatically be disabled every time you quit Chrome. So, you have to enable it again for every website.
