Pork Has Been Roasted

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

Another big cheer went up through the Pavillion Room and this time, it was Douglas Pork who was making his way to the exits, but not without a big smile and a bow.

As Pork recalled to us, he called from the big blind with {K-}{Q-} (suited) after a middle position raise from French player Alexandra Petitjean. The flop came down {Q-}{10-}{6-} and Pork check-shoved, but Petitjean snapped him off with {K-}{K-}.

The turn and the river bricked out and with Pork now out of the picture, Petitjean is now up to 9,800 in chips. She'll be one to watch out for, as she's already racked up more than $50,000 in tournament earnings, including a runner-up finish at the Partouche Poker Tour Deep Stack event in Lyon, good for almost €33,000.

It should also be noted that the unofficial count of male players in this event was 12. As it stands, about half of those players remain.
