Chalk Up A Win For The Duck

The Duck in action
The Duck in action
Tim Duckworth has got off the mark for the day. Four players took a {3-Spades}{q-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop for 300 apiece and Duckworth was straight out of the blocks leading 600.

He took one caller to the turn {2-Hearts} and bet out 750, which was called. The river was the {A-Spades} and Duckworth fired 1,750. His opponent instantly pitched into the muck and Duckworth revealed {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

After the hand our PokerNews reporter was heard lamenting, "How does he not have the Spades there?"

Duckworth has about 18,500.
