: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Victoria Coren-Mitchell checked it over to Rob Strong on the river of a board reading 
.
There was already 20,000 in the middle and Stong made a bet of 9,000. Coren-Mitchell, as she likes to do, started talking it through out loud, vacillating between calling and folding, counting out the chips in recognition of the significance of the bet to her stack. Summing up her torment Coren-Mitchell said, “My better nature is battling with my curiosity.”
Better nature won in the end and Coren-Mitchell folded to keep the chips in her stack. The dissection of the hand went on for several more minutes with Strong seemingly admitting that he had a ten in his hand.
