Malcolm Franchi opened to 50,000 from early position before Philip Almond three-bet to around 140,000 from the cutoff. Action then was on Lexy Gavin-Mather on the button, who moved all in for 310,000. Franchi got out of the way, and after asking for a count, Almond made the call.
Lexy Gavin-Mather: A♠Q♥
Philip Almond: A♥10♦
Gavin-Mather was ahead and stayed there throughout the runout of 8♠4♣3♣5♦7♣. Her ace-queen held up against Almond's ace-ten, earning her a timely double-up just before the players headed on break.
