A Pair of Hands for Lovgren

Sofia Lovgren has three World Series of Poker cashes under her belt and they have all come from this year's WSOP. We recently caught up to her playing a hand with a {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} flop exposed. Lovgren checked, and her opponent bet out 4,300. After a minute or two passed Lovgren announced all in, a bet that would put her shorter stacked opponent all in. Lovgren's opponent folded and she took down the pot.

A few hands later we found her mixing it up again, this time the flop read {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{A-Diamonds}. Lovgren was again heads up against an unknown opponent, but this time she was in late position. Her opponent checked and Lovgren bet out 1,700. A call was made and both players were off to the turn.

The {Q-Clubs} on fourth street brought a repeat of action with Lovgren's opponent checking and the Swedish pro betting out 2,350. Lovgren's opponent called and the dealer turned over the {8-Spades} for the river. We saw another check from the early position player and after a minute or two passed a bet of 5,875 from Lovgren. Lovgren's opponent folded and she took down the pot.
