Jeremy McLaughlin Gets a Lucky Sweat

Royal Flush Girl Brittany Bell was near Jeremy McLaughlin’s table when he was in the small blind, and he let her look at her cards to sweat his action. He asked if anybody at the table minded, and James St. Hilaire jokingly protested and said, "I’ve never won a poker hand against a woman."

Somebody asks if he’s serious, and St. Hilaire offers the example that Jennifer Tilly has won 97% of the hands they’ve played against each other.

Meanwhile, McLaughlin folded his small blind, saying he’d show one more hand to Bell. This time, he four-bets it preflop from the button to see a heads-up flop against the cutoff.

Both players check to the turn on a board of [Kd8s6d5d], the cutoff checks, McLaughlin bets 3,000, and the cutoff calls. The river card is the [Qc], McLaughlin bets 3,000 again, and the cutoff calls.

McLaughlin shows [AdAh] to win the pot with an overpair, and his opponent mucks. Bell says she did her best to keep a straight poker face after seeing his pocket aces.
