The SL(3,C)-representation variety R of a free group F arises naturally by considering surface group representations for a surface with boundary. There is a SL(3,C)-action on the coordinate ring of R. The geometric points of the subring of invariants of this action is an affine variety X. The points of X parametrize isomorphism classes of completely reducible representations. The coordinate ring C[X] is a complex Poisson algebra with respect to a presentation of F imposed by the surface. In previous work, we have worked out the bracket on all generators when the surface is a three-holed sphere and when the surface is a one-holed torus. In this paper, we show how the symplectic leaves corresponding to these two different Poisson structures on X relate to each other. In particular, they are symplectically dual at a generic point. Moreover, the topological gluing map which turns the three-holed sphere into the one-holed torus induces a rank preserving Poisson map on C[X].
