Annie Duke raised from the button and Jerry Yang called, putting himself at risk in his match. Duke turned over {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs} while Yang held live cards with the {3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}.

Both players liked the flop as Duke picked up a flush draw and Yang made a pair on a board of {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. The {8-Spades} was a great card for Duke, giving her an up-and-down straight draw to go with her flush draw, but she couldn't connect and Yang doubled up when the {4-Hearts} hit the river.
