Duke, Out

A short-stacked Annie Duke moved the rest of her chips into the middle holding {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs} against round 1 opponent J.C. Tran, who called in the dark. Fortunately for Tran, his {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} had Duke on the ropes and the {10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} board only improved his hand further to eliminate Duke from the tournament.

With the win, Tran secured one of the final spots in tomorrow's round of 32.
