With about 5,000 in the pot, on a board reading 
, Isabelle Tremblay led out for 3,500 from the small blind. Martin Roussel was on the button and quickly called.
The river was the 
and Tremblay tossed out a single chip worth T5,000. Roussel immediately raised to 12,500 and Tremblay open-folded 
. Roussel kindly showed 
for the nut flush and raked in the pot.
"Two hands already. Welcome to the table!" joked a visibly frustrated Tremblay. Another player at the table said, "Wow! First a gut-shot, then ace-king beats aces. It's been a rough first round!" he laughed.
