Ladies Holding Their Own

[user22113]

Of the 270 players remaining in the field, only 5 of them are women, but make no mistake about it, they're playing some solid poker.

Take Noelle Huard, for example. Facing a 3,000 bet on board showing {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

{A-Spades}

, Noelle looked her opponent squarely in the eye, looking for any information he was willing to give away.

After some thought, she made the call. Her opponent flipped over {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

, for aces and queens with a king kicker. Relieved that her read was dead on, she turned over pocket Kings and took down the pot.
