Lori had a , and Manon a . They both had high pair, but Manon’s kicker ended up being significant later on.

The turn came down a and the river was a . Each had ended up with two pairs, jacks and kings, but Lori’s helped her take home the bacon, helping her to quadruple up in just a few minutes. She now sits in a great position heading into the final table.
