durrrr Takes a Step Back After Big NLHE Pot

No-Limit Hold'em:

"Fearless and creative" is how much people describe Tom Dwan's playing style. But even durrrr can run into monster hands, and at that point fearlessness and creativity won't go very far. Dwan opened to 1,300 pre-flop from early position and was called by Shawn Buchanan in late position and both blinds. The flop was all diamonds, {3-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}. Action checked to Buchanan. His bet of 3,200 folded both of the blinds, but not Dwan. Dwan check-raised to 14,700. Buchanan called.

Both players checked the {Q-Hearts} turn. On the {7-Spades} river, Dwan tried a bet of 23,500. Buchanan snap-called with the second nut flush, {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}. Dwan showed the {A-Clubs} and mucked.
