Two Girls, One Pot
We were standing watching the table that Kevin MacPhee is the big stack at, when all hell broke loose. Within seconds, a hoard of cameras, media, and players huddled around the table as Vicky Coren and Celina Lin got their chips into the middle heads up with each other, and each having about the same chip count to start the hand. Fittingly, it was a race:
Lin:
Coren:
"The only two women at the table," someone piped up.
"Yeah, and she has the ladies," someone else said. "Versus ace-king of hearts, too!"
Fellow Team PokerStars Pros Coren and Lin wished each other luck, and they each suggested just chopping the pot right there and moving on to the next hand. They frown on that sort of thing here, however, and it was off to the board:
Lin lost the race, and when the stacks were counted down, it was her 26,400-chip stack that was covered by just 2,000, issuing her the marching orders. She's out, and Coren has doubled up over 50,000.
