Big Hands and Storylines:

Annie Duke Adds to Her Stack

Showing a board of QQ76, an opponent made a bet after receiving his river card.  Annie Duke called almost instantly showing AT54and waited for her opponent to reveal his hand.  "You're looking at it," her opponent declared, referring to his pair of queens.  Duke flipped over (A)(A)(9) for three aces and dragged the pot.

Oppenheim Cripples Rich

Jordan Rich was eliminated shortly after a back-and-forth hand against David Oppenheim:

David Oppenheim: T2AQ
Jordan Rich: T5Q3

Oppenheim completed to 1,200 and Rich raised to 2,400; Oppenheim called. Rich lead out on 4^th street with his T5 showing and Oppenheim came along. Buying an ace on 5^th street, Oppenheim lead into Rich and Rich made the call. Action went check-check on 6^th, and on 7^th street Oppenheim again led into Rich. With only 6,500 left behind Rich thought long and hard, staring into the pot of nearly 15,000, before laying down his holding. This hand was the beginning of the end for Rich, who was eliminated only a few hands later. Oppenheim now has about 28,000 chips.

7^th Street Kind to Moskowitz

Greg Mascio: 2KJQ
David Moskowitz: J6J7

Mascio brought in with the deuce of spades and called a raised by Moskowitz, whose J was the highest upcard. 4^th street went check-check. After pairing his Jack, Moskowitz bet out and was called by Mascio. Slowing down on 6^th street, Moskowitz check-called a bet, but soon resumed his aggression by betting into Mascio on the river. Mascio made the call and Moskowitz flipped over (8)(5)(4) for the fortuitous straight made on the end. Moscowitz is now at about 53,000.
