Duke, Out

[user38449]

A short-stacked Annie Duke moved the rest of her chips into the middle holding {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

against round 1 opponent J.C. Tran, who called in the dark. Fortunately for Tran, his {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{9-Hearts}

had Duke on the ropes and the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

board only improved his hand further to eliminate Duke from the tournament.

With the win, Tran secured one of the final spots in tomorrow's round of 32.
