Hand 18: Coren Gives up in a Key Hand

Marcel Luske raises in first position to 8,000 with {A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Alex Kravchenko calls in the small blind with {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Vicky Coren reraises from the big blind to 25,000 with {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}.

Luske passes and Kravchenko moves all in.

Coren faces a call for her remaining 43,000 and dwells for quite some time before folding, obviously hoping that she she can finish one place ahead of Eddy Scharf.

If she had studied the league points carefully however she would have realised that finishing ahead of Scharf wouldn't really have made a big difference to her league standing and she needed to go for a top-two finish.

Roland de Wolfe in the commentary box: "That could have been the biggest tactical error so far in the Premier League, except for Hellmuth turning up."
