Fatima Moreira de Melo, the Dutch Team PokerStars Pro, has just shown she cannot be pushed around by the boys and took down a sizeable pot as a result.
Moreira de Melo had opened the betitng with a raise to 3,000 from middle position. Next to act was Marvin Rettenmaier, who called, as did Alexander Meidinger seated to his direct left. Two players folded but Hanh Tran in the small blind made it 10,700 to play.
With the action back on Moreira de Melo she sat riffling a stack of yellow chips before moving her entire stack of 64,000 into the middle. Both Rettenmaier and Meidinger folded but Tran went deep into the tank.
After a couple of minutes he folded, stating the bet was around 30,000 too much for him to call, whilst Rettenmaier told Moreira de Melo he had pocket nines.
