Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Alexia Portal
Alexia Portal

Just before the break, the tournament suffered the tragic loss of the rather lovely Alexia Portal in quite spectacular fashion.

The flop read {6-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Clubs} when all the chips went in in a three-way showdown.

Portal: {4-}{4-} for bottom set
Player 2: {j-}{j-} for top set
Player 3: {a-}{a-} for the best kind of overpair

Turn: {3-Clubs}

River: {a-Clubs} making Player 3 a winning set of aces

"That's poker," said the philosophical Portal. She will not be repeating last year's excellent run (she came 10th here for �51,500) but we suspect she'll now be hitting the side events instead.
