It’s the 24th September 2006, and two are left in the London leg of the European Poker Tour (EPT), one of the world’s most prestigious poker competitions. Victoria Coren Mitchell (née Coren) has just made a straight on the flop and traps her rival, the Australian Emad Tahtouh, who decides to go all in. Coren Mitchell immediately calls and the adrenaline of the moment brings her to her feet. Tahtouh looks on in despair.
