Ticherfatine Wins the Most Classic of Races
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Cecile Ticherfatine opened to 2,000 from under the gun. In middle position, Rene Peterkopf three-bet to 6,000. It folded back to Ticherfatine who took some time before she announced all-in and Peterkopf snapped it off for 48,000 as the slightly smaller stack.
Rene Peterkopf: Q♥Q♦ 
Cecile Ticherfatine: A♦K♥
It was the most famous of all races in a pot worth 100,000 chips. The K♠J♦4♣ flop vaulted Ticherfatine into the lead and it stayed that way on the K♣9♥ runout as Peterkopf hit the exit at the hands of Ticherfatine.
