Annie Duke open-shoved for 33,000 from early position. One hand after doubling with aces, Barry Greenstein was feeling wealthy. He reshipped from the cutoff.

Duke:
Greenstein:
Duke was in good shape, and the flop meant she didn't have to worry about Barry's club draw. The crowd applauded the turn card that gave Annie a flush draw and took away one of Greenstein's three outs. He was down to two on the river, and the audience had all but guaranteed Duke the double up in their minds. Sometimes you feel a river like a swift kick in the gut.

Duke got a hug from her brother as she left the table, and Joe Reitman was on the rail waiting to lend his support. Greenstein smiled for the first time all day as he stacked his nearly 130,000 in chips, but he stopped to join in as the stands gave Duke one last round of applause.

He moved all in to put Daniel at risk, and Negreanu folded without much thought. Chan moved further into the lead with 265,000, and Negreanu slipped to 92,000.
Huck Seed raised, and Howard Lederer moved all in for 30,400 total. Johnny Chan surprised Seed by flat calling. That was scary enough for Seed to give it up. Lederer tabled to Chan's . The flop was clean, as was the on the turn. Could both siblings get two-outed on the river? The crowd gasped as the fell on the turn, but was quickly relieved to see it was one spot short of a killer for Lederer. He more than doubled to 80,000.
