Evdakov Gets a Big Piece of durrrr

No-Limit Hold'em:

Tom Dwan is down a healthy chunk of his stack after tangling with the WSOP record-holder for most cashes in a single WSOP -- Nikolay Evdakov. There was a pre-flop raise that Evdakov called from the cutoff. Dwan, sitting in the big blind, then re-raised to 7,200. The original raiser folded but Evdakov called again.

Dwan led for 11,300 on a flop of {q-Spades} {2-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}. Evdakov made a just-slightly-bigger-than-mini mum raise to 25,000. Dwan called.

Dwan check-called 30,000 on the {k-Hearts} turn and another 25,000 on the {3-Clubs} river. He couldn't beat Evdakov's top pair, {a-Hearts} {k-Diamonds}. As a result Dwan's stack is down to 35,000 while Evdakov is up to 215,000.
