Portal Sitting Pretty

Alexia Portal
Alexia Portal
Alexia Portal has a lot of admirers in France. Who are we kidding? Alexia Portal has a lot of admirers everywhere. But she's certainly got a big fan base in the tournament room today. She was in a huge hand with Jake Cody, and suddenly it seemed that her table was the only one in the room.

We didn't catch the early action but went to investigate why every single member of the French media was swarming her table. People were standing on chairs, knocking over ropes, pushing each other. By the time we managed to find a line of sight, there were already close to 300,000 chips in the middle on the river.

Board: {10-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {5-Spades} {7-Clubs} {3-Clubs}

Portal was sitting completely frozen, staring at her entire stack (over 300,000) that she had just pushed across the betting line. Cody tanked and tanked, if possible retreating further into the hoodie he's been hiding in all day.

Someone called time, and Cody gave up his hand before the floor had made it through the crowd to the table. Portal looked like she might collapse with relief. Her audience gave a rousing cheer that only got louder when she showed a brazen {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}.

Portal racked up over 600,000 when the table was broken a hand later.
