Duke Dented

Annie Duke opened with a raise preflop to 525 from middle position and found two callers, from late position and the big blind.

They took a flop of {K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades} and the big blind checked to Duke, who fired a 1,350 continuation bet. The late-position player folded with the big blind making the call.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and again it was checked to Duke, who fired out 2,300. The BB then check-raised to 8,300 and Duke was forced to give up her hand.

She was down to 24,500 before the following hand came up. Duke raised to 600 from the button and Duc Pham called in the big blind.

They took a flop of {6-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Pham checked to Duke, who fired out 700. Pham made the call. The turn was the {K-Diamonds} and Pham this time led out for 2000, before Duke popped it up to 6,600. Pham called. The river was the {7-Hearts}. Pham checked, Duke bet out 10,000 and Pham once again called.

"You got it," said Duke, as Pham showed {A-Clubs}{10-Spades} for two pair, which was good to take down the pot. Duke is now left with less than 6,000 chips.
