[user108095]

Jerry Yang

Annie Duke raised from the button and Jerry Yang called, putting himself at risk in his match. Duke turned over {k-Clubs}

{k-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

while Yang held live cards with the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

.

Both players liked the flop as Duke picked up a flush draw and Yang made a pair on a board of {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

. The

{8-Spades}

was a great card for Duke, giving her an up-and-down straight draw to go with her flush draw, but she couldn't connect and Yang doubled up when the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

hit the river.
