Ticherfatine Wins the Most Classic of Races
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Cecile Ticherfatine opened to 2,000 from under the gun. In middle position, Rene Peterkopf three-bet to 6,000. It folded back to Ticherfatine who took some time before she announced all-in and Peterkopf snapped it off for 48,000 as the slightly smaller stack.
Rene Peterkopf: Q?Q? 
Cecile Ticherfatine: A?K?
It was the most famous of all races in a pot worth 100,000 chips. The K?J?4? flop vaulted Ticherfatine into the lead and it stayed that way on the K?9? runout as Peterkopf hit the exit at the hands of Ticherfatine.
