The River is Good to Coren

We caught this hand on the turn with a board of {7-Clubs}{A-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

The player in early position checked and Tracy Nguyen bet 1,525 from middle position. Coren raised all in for 3,650 and the early position player called. When Nguyen folded, we saw the hands.

Coren: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Opponent: {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Coren was behind her opponent's made straight, but spiked the {8-Diamonds} on the river to fill up and take the hand. She now has 11,500 chips.
