Duke Takes a Big Lead

Annie Duke
Annie Duke
Erik Seidel made it 80,000 to go preflop and Annie Duke raised all in. Erik called and showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}, putting Duke's {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} at a huge disadvantage.

It didn't matter though as the flop fell {Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, giving Duke a pair. The {9-Spades} on the turn gave her two pair and the {9-Hearts} on the river improved her hand even more.

She now has roughly a 3-1 lead over Seidel.
