Durrrr's Stack Straightened Out

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

On a board reading {Q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{9-Spades}, Tom "Durrrr" Dwan check-called a 650 bet from his lone opponent.

The turn brought a {8-Clubs} and Dwan again checked, prompting a 1,500 bet from his opponent. Durrrr immediately check-raised to about 8,000 and his opponent shoved his stack in for that plus a few extra hundred. Dwan made the call and saw that he was drawing thin.

Dwan: {8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {10-Spades}{J-Spades}

The {J-Diamonds} bricked for Dwan, whose hefty stack was reduced to 12,500.
