Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Elena Stover

Elena Stover and Dominic Carlo played back-to-back pots against each other and Stover got the best of him both times. The first hand they were on a board of {9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs}, Stover check-called 700 and the turn came {6-Diamonds}. Both players checked and the river came {4-Diamonds}. Stover check-called 1,200, Carlo showed {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a bluff and Stover tabled {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts} to take the pot.

The next hand they went to a flop of {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, both players checked and the turn came {J-Clubs}. Stover bet 1,500, Carlo called and the {6-Hearts} came on the river. Stover checked, Carlo bet 3,500 and Stover called after a bit. Carlo mucked without showing, surrendering the pot and Stover stacked over 40,000 after the hand.

One player asked the dealer if she had to show and he replied that she didn't because there wasn't an all in.

"Yeah, I don't think she could beat king high," Rob Elias said, ribbing her.

"I guess you'll never know," Stover said with a smile.
