Darian Wins Back to Back Showdowns

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Yashar Darian called a button raise from Richard Fridvalszki out of the small blind and the two went heads up to the flop. The board came out {2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, Darian let Fridvalszki continue for 165,000 and Darian called. The turn was the {9-Spades} and both players checked to see the {2-Diamonds} river. Darian fired out 200,000 and Fridvalszki thought for a while and even stood up before throwing in the chips. Darian showed {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} which was good enough to win the hand.

The very next hand, Darian raised his button to 100,000 and both Jason Somerville and Travis Atkins called out of the blinds. The flop came {j-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and all three players checked. The turn was the {a-Diamonds} and again, all three players checked. The river was the {2-Diamonds} and this time Atkins led out for 100,000. Darian made the call and won with the {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}.

With those two pots he has moved his stack back into the chip lead with 4.5 million.
