Vanessa Thobert's 8,000 remaining chips sailed into the middle on a flop of {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

and her opponent quickly called. He tabled {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

for two pair, but was in disastrous shape against Thobert's {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

for the flopped straight and a straight flush redraw. The {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

on the turn and the {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

on the river didn't change things and Thobert doubled her stack to 16,000 while her unfortunate opponent was left on fumes with only 2,900 remaining.
