Amaral Climbing Back; Duke Eliminated

donpeters

Annie Duke was just eliminated by Chris Amaral. According to Amaral, he was down to 700 chips when he picked up rolled up aces to bring his stack back up to a few thousand. After building back to about 10,000 chips, Amaral then eliminated Duke with king high after he had a busted low draw. Duke missed all of her draws as well and couldn't even hit a pair. All she could muster was queen high.

Fellows Arrives

[user25067]

Our suspicions were correct. Zac Fellows didn't get his wake-up call and overslept, but he just took his seat at Table 157.
