Girl Power

Elisabeth Hille raised to 400,000 from middle position and Marc Ladouceur defended from the big blind, leading to a flop of {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. Ladouceur took the initiative and led out for 475,000, Hille called, and the {8-Spades} appeared on the turn.

Ladouceur proceeded to check-call a bet of 675,000, and the {K-Diamonds} peeled off on the river. After Ladouceur checked, Hille quickly reached for chips and put out a bet of 1.275 million. Her Canadian opponent thought for about a minute before sending his hand to the muck, which inspired a few in the crowd to shout, "Girl power."
