Harder Can't Fade the Overpair

We picked up the action on the flop as the dealer ran out the first three cards {5-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {3-Hearts}. Action was on Christian Harder in the small blind, and he put out a bet of 2,800. His opponent made a raise to 12,400, and that sent Harder into the tank for a couple minutes. Eventually, he re-raised the pot, and his opponent called all in for his last ~27,000 total chips.

Showdown:
Harder: {3-Clubs} {7-Clubs}
Opponent: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}

Harder had the pot in his grasp, but it would soon slip away. The dealer pulled the {5-Clubs} off on fourth street, counterfeiting Harder and improving his opponent to queens up. The {6-Diamonds} locked up the pot for the other player, dropping Harder down to 29,000.
