Darden Downed in 31st

Paul Darden raised from middle position, Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri three-bet from the button, Darden four-bet, and Barbieri called. The flop came {7-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Darden bet with his last 2,000, and Barbieri called.

Darden {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Barbieri {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Darden was looking for a king or eight to survive. The turn was the {A-Spades}, and now he needed a ten. But the river was the {Q-Hearts}, and Darden is out in 31st, earning $4,871. Barbieri now has 178,000.
