Duke Drops A Big Pot
On a board reading 1057Q, Tom Koral moved all of his chips into the middle against Annie Duke. She made the call and both players showed down their hands.
Duke: AJ54
Koral: A273
Koral was ahead with just a pair of sevens, besting Duke’s pair of fives. He also had the nut low draw so Duke needed to pair another one of her cards to at least chop the pot. Instead, the river paired the board as the Q dropped and Koral doubled up to almost 250,000. Duke was down to under 80,000 in chips.
Negreanu Doubles Through Clements
Scott Clements raised to 40,000 preflop and Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 60,000. Clements made the call and the flop came down A9K. Negreanu fired 20,000 and Clements stuck around. The turn brought the Q and Negreanu bet his remaining stack and Clements called.
Negreanu: A7K2
Clements: Q1098
Negreanu had the best of it with top two pair but Clements had two pair of his own to go with a gutshot straight draw. The 6 came on the river and gave Clements no help. Negreanu doubled up to about 180,000.
