Annie Duke Moving Up

Annie Duke was all in preflop against a few other players that were still active in the hand. She began the hand with 8,000 chips.

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {5-Hearts} and Morten Holm bet. Two players folded before Sven Amtzen made the call.

The turn was the {3-Spades} and both active remaining players checked. The {5-Spades} was the river card and both players checked again.

Holm showed {K-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {10-Spades} {7-Diamonds}, Amtzen showed {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}, and Duke showed {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}.

The side pot was split between Holm and Amtzen. Holm won the high half with two pair, queens and sevens. Amtzen won the low half.

Duke then scooped the low half of the main pot with the nut low, while Holm took the high half of the main with his two pair. Duke is now up to 20,000 chips.

Luu Back to the Top

Defending champ, Thang Luu, still going strong!
Defending champ, Thang Luu, still going strong!
Thang Luu has just stormed back up the leaderboard in the past few minutes. On a recent hand, the board read {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {5-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} and Luu bet into Jordan Rich. The pot was very large and after tanking for a few moments, Rich made the call. Luu showed Rich the nut full house with two kings in his hand and moved up to a whopping 270,000 after just recently having below the 100,000-chip mark.

Can Luu repeat his performance from last year? Can he go wire to wire for a second gold bracelet? Only time will tell.
