The mood at the table was upbeat. Encouraged by her husband Mateusz Moolhuizen, who made her recite their common mantra, "I love money, and money loves me," Dehlia De Jong approached the next hand in high spirits, knowing she needed a double up.
Lexy Gavin-Mather initiated the action with a raise to 2,000 from the hijack, prompting De Jong to go all in on the button with her last 9,000. Gavin-Mather called, and it went to showdown.
Dehlia De Jong: A♥Q♣
Lexy Gavin-Mather: A♦10♣
The board ran out 6♥3♥A♣Q♥10♦, giving both players two pair, but De Jong's hand was better, allowing her to double up.
