They both checked through the {j-Clubs} on the turn to the {9-Diamonds} on the river. Duong took over the initiative and led out with a bet of 300,000.

Duong tabled {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for the trip jacks on the board with the queen-kicker but was bested by Skrbic who held {k-Clubs}{2-Spades} for the higher kicker.
