With the board reading {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

, Alexia Portal had bet 11,000 into a 30,000 pot on the river which put her opponent into the tank.

You could tell he had given some serious thought to the bet, as all but perhaps two of the other players were taking an opportunity to stretch their legs.

Eventually he made the call and Portal flipped {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

. "Same hand!" he cried, turning over {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

and they split the pot.
