Paul Wasicka Doubles -- Again

Paul Wasicka and Annie Duke went to war one more time, but neither player has been able to deliver the knock-out blow. In the most recent hand, Wasicka shoved with {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and got called by Duke, who held {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

The flop of {4-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} provided plenty of drama, as Duke caught two pair and Wasicka picked up the nut flush draw. The {8-Clubs} changed nothing on the turn, but the {2-Diamonds} on the river gave Wasicka the hand and a commanding chip lead.

Duke could do nothing more than hold her head in her hand as her chips were shipped across the felt.
