Yang Ducks All Duke's Outs Again

[user75032]

Annie Duke has played some thrilling matches in this tournament. Another one is developing here in the quarterfinals.

Once again, Duke had Jerry Yang on the ropes. Yang opened all in. After getting a count, Duke called with {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

. She was trying to out-race Yang's {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

.

A flop of {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

brought Duke a boat-load of outs but kept Yang's pocket treys in the lead. Somehow, Yang faded every card he needed to fade with a turn {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

and river

{Q-Diamonds}

.

That double-up didn't restore Yang to the chip lead, but he now has a stack that could hurt Duke if she doubles him up again.
