Francoeur Hits the River

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

On a three-bet pot, Louise Francoeur and her opponent checked all the way through the board {3-Clubs}{q-Spades}{8-Spades}{k-Spades}.

The river fell a {10-Diamonds} and Francoeur pushed all in for a stack around 8,000. Her opponent quickly made the call, holding {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}, but got unhappy when Francoeur tabled {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for a straight hit on the river.

Francoeur doubled up, leaving her opponent with crumbs after that hand, and said: "I'm really not proud about that hand".
