Magriel's Top Two Not Enough

On a flop of {Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{K-Spades} a player from early position fired out 6,000 before Paul Magriel raised it up to 22,000. The early position player then moved all in, but Magriel made the call tabling {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for top two pair. His opponent showed {A-Spades}{7-Spades} for bottom pair and flush draw.

The turn changed things around as the {A-Diamonds} gave Magriel's opponent a better two pair. The river was the {10-Clubs} and Magriel shook his head as he was left with only 7,200.
