Madam Maceiras Moving Forward

First into the pot from the button, Maria Maceiras came in raising to 800. There were two Winamax players in the blinds (Guillaume de la Gorce and Aurelien Guiglini), and they both made the call to see a flop.

It came {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}, and the blinds checked to the raiser. Maceiras continued out with a bet of 1,400, and this time, only de la Gorce gave her action. Heads up now, the turn brought the {8-Spades} and another check from the Frenchman. Maceiras wasn't backing down, firing another 3,200 chips at the pot. De la Gorce would think it over for several long minutes before folding, and Maceiras is now moving in the right direction. After an early slide, she's back up to around 42,000.
