Duckworth's Last Quack

Tim Duckworth has just been eliminated from the tournament after a pair of successive hands knocked him down and then out.

In the first of two, a player in the cutoff raised to 800 and Duckworth moved in over the top from the button for his last 4,400. Duckworth's opponent made the call and tabled a pocket pair of eights; Duckworth tabled {A-Diamonds}

and was in bad shape. The board filled out nine-high and Duckworth was left with 750 chips heading into the next hand:

Preflop, Van Marcus raised to 600 and Duckworth moved in for his remaining 750. Marcus was the lone caller and his {K-Diamonds}

bested Duckworth's {A-Diamonds}

after the board ran out {K-Clubs}
