Coren Gets a KO On Last Hand of the Night

Victoria Coren called the all in of a shorter stacked player on the last hand of the night. Coren held {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} and was crushing her opponent's {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}.

The flop came down clean, showing the players {6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. Unfortunately for Coren, the {J-Diamonds} peeled off on the turn giving her opponent a set.

"Oh no no no no no no no," said Coren "I can't handle the stress of that!".

It seems that the deck heard her request and sympathized, as the dealer pounded the table and produced the {K-Diamonds} on the river giving Coren a higher set and the winning hand.

As Coren's opponent walked to the rail she could barely find words to express how ecstatic she was that her kings held.
