Portal Heads for the Door
Level 3
: 100/200, 0 ante
Just before the break, the tournament suffered the tragic loss of the rather lovely Alexia Portal in quite spectacular fashion.
The flop read when all the chips went in in a three-way showdown.
Portal: for bottom set
Player 2: for top set
Player 3: for the best kind of overpair
Turn:
River: 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.
