LeBeau and the Ladies

Roman Valerstein came into the pot raising, and Robert LeBeau three-bet shoved for 173,000 total. When it came back to Valerstein, he called rather quickly, and it was a pair-versus-pair situation as the cards were turned on their backs.

Showdown
Valerstein: {6-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}
LeBeau: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}

The {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {K-Hearts} flop was money in the bank for LeBeau, and he could be forgiven for celebrating a bit prematurely. The {2-Hearts} on the turn gave him a big sweat as he now needed to fade the hearts left in the deck to stay alive. The river was a red card, too, but the {10-Diamonds} was scary-safe for LeBeau to secure his double.

He's back up to 386,000 and back into the game thanks to that trio of ladies.
