Coren Triples Up; "Easy Game"

We caught up to find Victoria Coren all in before the flop and called by Vladimir Mefodichev from the hijack and Matt Iles from the button.

Mefodichev and Iles were still able to bet into a sidepot and Mefodichev did so on the {K-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop. The bet of 51,000 pushed Iles out and the cards were tabled.

"I picked up a flush draw and a straight draw on that board," said Coren with a smile, showing {8-Spades}{6-Spades} which was behind Mefodichev's {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

The turn was the {K-Clubs} and the river the {6-Clubs} giving Coren a pair of sixes and enough to scoop up the pot.

"There you go," Coren said as she collected her chips. "Easy game."
