Darian's Stack Dented

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

We caught up with the action on a flop reading {9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{10-Spades}, Yashar Darian fired a 20,000 bet and his lone opponent directly to his left called.

The turn brought a {9-Spades} and both players checked.

Darian decided to fire when a {7-Diamonds} completed the board, this time for 40,000. His opponent called and Darian showed {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for two-pair. However, his opponent tabled {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for a better two-pair and dragged the pot. Despite the loss, Darian is still sitting with a healthy 470,000 stack.
