button in SafariPrescott Hits Her Overcard
Anthony Banuelos made it 2,000 from the hijack before Chris Nelson made the call on the button. Babe Prescott called out of the small blind, but Frederic Soria raised the price of admission to 6,000 from the big blind. Banuelos and Nelson folded. Prescott was not in the mood to fold as she put her chips in for 9,400 total.
"It's bad. It's really bad," said Prescott as she went to a showdown.
Babe Prescott: 8♣4♠
Frederic Soria: 5♠5♥
Soria had the best of it preflop, as Prescott only had one overcard as an immediate out as they went to a runout.
The flop kept Soria in the lead when it came A♦4♣A♠.
Prescott found her card when the 8♠ turn hit to give her a commanding lead with one card to go with her pair of eights.
The 9♥ completed the board as Prescott secured the double-up.
