Darian Takes Down 200k Pot

We came in on the turn when the board read {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{K-Spades}

Yashar Darian from the big blind bet out for 21,000 (there had clearly been alot of bets in the pot from previous streets) and Joseph Couden from the button re-rased all in. Darian insta-called to show the nut flush with {Q-Spades}{10-Spades} and have Couden's {2-Spades}{4-Spades} beat. The river was a meaningless {9-Diamonds} and Darian scooped the 200,000 chip pot.

Darian moves up into the 200,000 club after that hand and Couden is left with less than 20 big blinds.
