Tran Doubles Through Duke

Annie Duke
Annie Duke
Annie Duke and J.C. Tran got it all in pre-flop in a race situation; Duke with the {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} against Tran's {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

By the turn, the board read {J-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} giving Duke a heap of outs to win the match, but the river blanked out giving Tran a monster chip lead in the match.
