Stokes Snaps Off Puchol
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Nancy Stokes and Alvaro Puchol saw a flop of 5♦10♦J♣ when Stokes bet 11,500 from the button. Alvaro Puchol then moved all in from the big blind and Stokes snap-called for her last 53,000.
Nancy Stokes: A♥J♠ 
Alvaro Puchol: A♦8♦
Stokes was ahead with her top pair, but she needed to dodge Puchol's nut flush draw. The 8♥ turn gave Puchol more outs with a pair, but Stokes dodged the 5♠ river and doubled up.
