Trishelle Cannatella has been playing really well this tournament, adjusting her style to fit the blind structure and the weak spots in the field. She’s built up a pretty large chipstack, and she’s been using it to pressure the weaker players to pick up even more chips.
In the most recent hand, with the board showing [Jc7c6h4s] on the turn and a little more than 250,000 already in the pot, Trishelle bet 120,000 from the small blind. Otis "Shox" Hincks tanked for more than a minute from the big blind with Trishelle staring comfortably at him most of the time. Hincks eventually raised to 300,000.
Trishelle quickly moved all in with a smile and a wave of her hands, and Hincks let out a big breath, seemingly unsure of where he stood. Hincks folded, and a few other players teased him about it.
One of the players said, "It’s that smirk of hers. I’m afraid of it." Trishelle smiled and asked, "I’m not allowed to smile?"
