![[user140525]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Over on the table of death, Helen Ellis has been giving the pros a hard time. She has Todd Terry, James Akenhead, and Phil Ivey on her left and George Danzer and Eugene Todd on her right, but she doesn't seem phased by them or the rail that follows Ivey wherever he goes.
Ellis raised to 4,000 from the cutoff, and Todd Terry called on the button. Phil Ivey joined them from the big blind. The flop came out 
, and Ivey checked. Ellis bet 9,000, and only Terry called. Ellis checked the 
turn, and Terry checked behind. The 
fell on the river, completing the flush draw, and Ellis bet 15,000. Terry declined to make the call, and Ellis scooped the pot. She's up to 102,000 now. Terry's still cruising along with 155,000.
