Duck's On Fire

Tim Duckworth is the early chip leader after making a hot start to the day.

Firstly, Michael Zowie opened and three players including Duckworth made the call to go to the {Q-Clubs}

flop.

On the flop Zowie checked and Duckworth took the lead betting 800. The other opponent raised it up to 1,600, bringing a fold from both Zowie and the other opponent in the hand. Duckworth made the call and they went heads up to the {k-Clubs}

turn.

Duckworth checked to the opponent who led an overbet of 7,000. Duckworth moved all in and the opponent made the call. The opponent tabled {k-Diamonds}

for trip Kings, but Duckworth had {K-Spades}

for a full-house leaving his opponent drawing dead to a chop.

That moved Duckworth up to 33,950.

A few hands later he went six-handed to a {7-Diamonds}

flop after raising to 250 from early position. The player in the big blind made it 1,300 and Duckworth raised to 4,500. It folded round to the big blind who made it 12,000 virtually putting himself all in. Duckworth raised the extra 2,500 to put the big blind in and they tabled their cards.

Duckworth: {9-Diamonds}
