“I Never Said I Played Textbook Poker"
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Cards went on their backs on a flop of 4♣4♠10♠ with David Roche in the hijack all-in and at risk for 146,000 against Laetitia Jeancolas in early position.
David Roche: K♦10♦
Laetitia Jeancolas: 4♦3♦
Roche had two pair but Jeancolas flopped trips to take the lead. The 6♥Q♠ runout changed nothing and Roche was eliminated.
“Four-three from early position isn’t exactly textbook,” a player said to Jeancolas. “I never said I played textbook poker,” she answered.
