Hand 11

[user57637]

It's passed around to Luske in the small blind, who completes with {Q-Clubs}

and Scharf decided not to raise from the big blind with {K-Hearts}

.

Flop

and both players check.
Turn is the {3-Diamonds}

and again no one bets.
River is the {2-Hearts}

and a well-disguised flush for Scharf.

"I call to keep you honest."

Hand 12

[user63618]

Annie Duke raised to 6,000 with {K-Clubs}

from the cut-off and won the blinds.

[user57637]

Marcel Luske raised to 6,000 from the button with {5-Spades}

and takes the blinds.

Hand 14: Duke Eliminated, Playoff Bound

[user63618]

Kravchenko raised to 5,000 from the button with {K-Spades}

but Annie Duke came over the top for 17,000, holding just {7-Clubs}

in the big blind. Kravchenko made the call.

Flop: {3-Diamonds}

Duke was first to the pot, moving all in for 79,000 and Kravchenko made the call - he began the hand with 33,000 more than Duke.

Duke: "The percentages on screen right now says 50/50."
She is spot on.

Turn: {A-Diamonds}

River:

Duke is eliminated with one point, finishing the league with 19 points.

Although currently in fourth place and ahead of Kravchenko and Scharf (who both have 17 points), Duke will only make a playoff spot as Kravchenko and Scharf are guaranteed at least two points from this heat.

This result also means that Devilfish is now unable to make the top four.

Hand 15

[user57637]

Marcel Luske gets a walk.

02-15-2008 12:59 UTC

Hand 16

[user57637]

Eddy Scharf gets a walk.

02-15-2008 13:00 UTC

Hand 17

[user63618]

Scharf completed with {A-Diamonds}

but Kravchenko raised 6,000 from the big blind with {6-Clubs}

and made Scharf fold.

Hand 18: Coren Gives up in a Key Hand

[user57637]

Marcel Luske raises in first position to 8,000 with {A-Hearts}

and Alex Kravchenko calls in the small blind with {9-Spades}

. Vicky Coren reraises from the big blind to 25,000 with {A-Clubs}

.

Luske passes and Kravchenko moves all in.

Coren faces a call for her remaining 43,000 and dwells for quite some time before folding, obviously hoping that she she can finish one place ahead of Eddy Scharf.

If she had studied the league points carefully however she would have realised that finishing ahead of Scharf wouldn't really have made a big difference to her league standing and she needed to go for a top-two finish.

Roland de Wolfe in the commentary box: "That could have been the biggest tactical error so far in the Premier League, except for Hellmuth turning up."
