Outcome

With the blinds at 30,000-60,000, Wolpert raised to 150,000 from the button, Duthie called. On the flop, Duthie checked, Wolpert bet 180,000, Duthie called. On the turn, Duthie checked, Wolpert bet 420,000, Duthie raised to 2,420,000, Wolpert reraised all in, Duthie called and was all in.

Analysis

Wolpert bet two-thirds of the pot having flopped top set, while Duthie check-called with his flush draw. Duthie got a little excited on the turn, as it gave him an open-ended straight draw, as well. He had great implied odds to call, but elected to spring a massive check-raise with his draw. Wolpert had the nuts, and set his pot-committed opponent all in. A lucky diamond on the river completed Duthie's flush, crippling Wolpert and setting the stage for Duthie to win match one in the best-of-three format of the championship bracket.
