Well she has picked up where she left off, this time getting into a preflop cooler with pocket kings versus Marios Eracleous' pocket aces.

Alain Pujol has made a habit of flopping some big hands in the €550 Grand Event and today has been no exception. The Frenchman opened to 600 from the cutoff and then faced a 1,600 three-bet from Daniel Rigby on the button.
The blinds got out of the way and Pujol called.
Rigby bet 1,700 on the 
flop and then went into the tank after Pujol made it 7,500.
"This might be the one sir," Rigby said.
He took some time before ultimately folding and Pujol flashed his for a flopped flush.
