Defending Champion Tangles With "Talonchick"

Limits: 600-1,200
Ten years ago, Adrienne Carter helped promote mixed games when streaming online poker really took off. Under the moniker "Talonchick", she streamed countless hours, introducing a new audience to the various formats poker has to offer.
After taking a step back from the game in 2018, Carter took a different path in life. Poker never fully left her mind, however, as she made a reappearance at the WSOP in 2024, after a 14-year absence.
Getting a taste of glory by making one unofficial final table that year, Carter has returned to the tables this year, and she was involved in a pot with defending champion Nikolay Fal.
Nikolay Fal: J♦7♣4♦/J♠3♣5♦3♦
Adrienne Carter: 8♥8♦Xx/7♥9♥7♦6♠
Fal bet on fourth street and saw Carter call. Both players checked when Carter paired on fifth street. Carter checked again on sixth street. Fal bet, and Carter called.
It was checked to showdown on seventh street. Carter showed two eights in the hole for eights and sevens, but she mucked her last card when Fal tabled jacks and threes for the winning hand.
