Put Up Your Duke
The ESPN cameras were huddled around Table 274 so we dropped by to see what was up. When we arrived, there was about 35,000 in the pot and a board of out on in the middle of the table. The first player in the pot checked, and Annie Duke had slid out a bet of 12,000 to put the decision right back to him. He was in the tank for several long minutes before frowning and making the call.
Duke tabled for trips, and she seemed pretty confident that it was the best hand with her opponent's long soak in the tank. It was, and that pot moves Annie up to about 133,000 as she stacks up.
