Brenda Blackburn knew she had a huge opportunity when she saw the pair of kings in her hand, and so she made a fairly large preflop bet of 100,000. The table folded around to the player on her right, Ginette Langlais, and it was go time. She shoved.

It seemed the perfect time to make the call, but Brenda took her time thinking about it. Did Ginette have pocket aces? Ace-king? In the end, Brenda liked her chances and did just that, making the call the ultimately ended her night.

While all Ginette had was an ace-ten, she ended up catching an ace, ending Brenda’s night prematurely and sending her to the rail in eigth place. Congratulations on a tournament well played, you certainly eared that $270 – better luck next time with those kings!
