Duke Drowned on the River

What do I have to do?
What do I have to do?
Annie Duke moved her stack all in preflop and got the call she wanted from Jerry Yang who showed {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, putting him way behind her {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}.

Duke held the lead on a flop of {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} but Yang found a way to chop when the {j-Clubs} appeared on the turn. Duke looked pained before the river, and for good reason, as Yang caught a miracle card - the {4-Spades} and doubled up.
