I Heart the River
Over 10,000 in chips had amassed in the middle of the table by the time we arrived on the river of the board. Not a massive pot exactly, but not insignificant. Two players had checked around to Vicky Coren in position.
"Are there three hearts there?" she asked.
The dealer chuckled and confirmed: "Yes, there are three hearts there."
Coren nonchalantly bet 5,000. Alexandru Cezarescu just flat-called in the big blind, the third player folded, and they turned over their cards. Coren turned hers over first - for the nut flush. Cezarescu made a face and turned over for the second nut flush, while everyone at the table ooh-ed and ahh-ed at the flat call.
One Lerner twin, the one who was not seated at that table anyway, appeared out of nowhere. He told Coren, "We're expecting another tweet from you."
Another player at the table explained to Lerner that Coren had just won a decent pot with the ace-high flush against the king-high flush.
Lerner looked down at Coren's stack. "So where's the rest of the pot?" he asked cheerfully.
Whatever Lerner thinks about it, Coren's 34,000 stack represents a fine comeback from the 10,000 or so she was down to earlier in the day.
