Darian Takes It On The River

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Alex Martin opened the betting with a raise to 75,000 from the cutoff. Yashar Darian called from the button as did Jason Somerville from the big blind.

The flop came {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and it checked to Darian who bet 125,000. Somerville folded and Martin threw in the chips. The turn was the {4-Clubs} and this time they both checked. The river was the {6-Spades} and Martin checked for a third time. After a few moments, Darian announced that he was betting 250,000 and began counting out the chips. Martin tanked for a couple of minutes before letting go of his hand and leaning back to tell his rail what just happened.
