Darden Dares

The table folded around to Paul Darden sitting in Seat 9 who completed from the small blind. The player in the big blind, in Seat 1, stood up and leaned over to get a clear view past the dealer of Darden's stack. Darden held his hands open to show he had about 21,000 sitting before him. His opponent checked.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{8-Spades}{K-Clubs}. Darden quickly tossed out four (500) light blue chips for a bet of 2,000, and without much hesitation his opponent raised to 4,600. Darden wasted no time pushing his remaining chips in the middle, and his opponent went into the tank.

Finally, after a long look inward, the big blind let it go. Darden is up to 28,000.
