No Back to Back for Duek
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Michael Duek, who finished in third place in last year's main event, opened to 65,000 from middle position and was called by Bradley Moskowitz in the big blind.
Moskowitz led into Duek for 65,000 on the K♠10♠6♦ flop and Duek made the call.
The turn was the 3♣. Moskowitz bet 400,000. Once again Duek made the call.
On the 7♦ river Moskowitz moved all in for approximately 1,900,000, slightly covering Duek.
After roughly three minutes Duek made the call, putting himself at risk. Duek showed down K♦J♠ for a flopped top pair which could not beat Moskowitz' K♣10♦ for flopped two pair. Duek's deep run came to an end just a few days short of making back to back final tables while Moskowitz received a full double up.
