Annie Get Your Coat

Annie Duke
Annie Duke
Annie Duke appears to be the latest casualty of the table of death, busted by the magnificently-attired Fin Sampo Lopponen.

The pot itself was a bit of a monster and one that saw 65,000 in chips go sailing over to Sampo. I didn't quite catch the action preflop, but by the time we reached the {2-Spades}{8-Spades}{K-Diamonds} flop, there were four players involved, one other being the world's tallest man, Phil Gordon.

After the action checked round to Duke, she swiftly moved in for her remaining 20K or so with {3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{A-Spades}{10-Hearts}, but was quickly called by Sampo's {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

Although she flopped the nut flush draw, Duke was behind all the way, and in deeper hot water on the {J-Diamonds} turn and the {5-Diamonds} river, the latter giving the Finn a Broadway straight.

Looking as dejected as a dog who'd had its squeaky toy confiscated , Annie assembled her belongings, grabbed a last sip of her drink and quietly exited stage left.

Meanwhile, Sampo couldn't stop grinning, his newfound stack as glorious as his attire -- blue and white cap, brown cardigan, and pink and black stripy shirt. One for the fashion police I say!
