Annie Duke
Annie Duke
Hand 4: Annie Duke picks up {A-Clubs}{5-Spades} on the button and raises to 6,000 which rakes the blinds.

Hand 5: Devilfish calls with {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Duke checks with {K-Spades}{10-Clubs}.

Board is {3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and both players check it down.

Devilfish knew he needed to bet to win but said, "I think you would have called me."

Duke: "I would. I have almost the nut king!"

Hands 2-3

Hand 2 - A walk for Devilfish.

Hand 3 - Devilfish limps with {Q-Spades}{8-Spades}, Annie checks her {A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}.

{A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} they check.

{4-Hearts} and Devilfish bets 4k; Annie calls.

{6-Hearts} - they both check and Annie takes it. "Nice hand, bebe."

Hand 1

Devilfish raises to 7,000 and Annie Duke calls.

{A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for Devilfish.
{5-Spades}{7-Spades} for Duke.

Flop is {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Devilfish bets 7,000. Duke calls.

Turn is the {J-Spades} and this time Duke leads for 12,000.

Devilfish: "I've got no pair, darling, I've got to give you this one," and he passes.

Heads-up Playoff Number 2 Starting Soon

The second of our playoff matches between Devilfish and Annie Duke will begin shortly.

It's best-of-five heads-up matches to decide who will join Tony G, Andy Black, Marcel Luske, Alex Kravchenko and Roland de Wolfe in the grand final of the 2008 PartyPoker.com Premier League.

Hand 22

Eddie moves in with {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}; de Wolfe has {K-Spades}{4-Spades} and calls. "Why do I always have to outdraw people?" wonders Roland.

{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

And outdraw accomplished, Eddy Scharf is OUT. Roland de Wolfe goes through to the final.

Hands 18-21

Hands 18 to 20 were all walks.

Hand 21: de Wolfe puts Scharf all in with {K-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Scharf gives up {K-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

With blinds going up to 5,000/10,000 in two hands de Wolfe now has a 4:1 chip lead only needing to win one more match and this looks all but over.

Hands 16-17

Hand 16 - a walk for Scharf.

Hand 17 - Scharf limps with {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, Roland checks his {K-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.

{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} Eddy bets 7k, Roland calls.

{K-Spades} and Scharf bets 10k this time; Roland flat-calls.

River {6-Clubs} and Roland takes it.

Hands 13, 14, 15

Hand 13 and 14 were both walks.

Hand 15 is an unraised pot.

{K-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for Scahrf.
{Q-Clubs}{6-Spades} for de Wolfe.

Flop was jack high with two hearts and de Wolfe check-folded to a bet of 6,000 form Scharf.

Hands 11-12

Hand 11 - a walk for Roland.

Hand 12 - Eddy says: "Devilfish loses every race except against me." But now his luck is good - he has {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} against Roland's {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} but there's no preflop raising.

Flop - {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and they check.

Turn - {3-Spades}! Scharf bets, Roland raises, Eddy moves all in and it's so very nearly over!

River - an inconsequential {4-Clubs}, and Eddy's down to 54k for his Premier League life.

Hand 10

Another unraised pot.

{A-Spades}{4-Clubs} for de Wolfe.
{J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for Scharf.

Flop is {8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and de Wolfe tries 5,000. Scharf raises to 15,000 and de Wolfe folds instantly.
