That Wasn't in the Book

We've seen lots of unorthodox hands throughout this tournament, so it should come as no surprise that another one has gone down on Table 10. Celina Lin got the action started with a raise to 2,400 that Priscilla Meirelles called before a player in late position reraised to 6,000. That raise folded the small blind (who later said he fold pocket jacks) and an agonized Lin (who accidentally exposed her hand as she was mucking it, revealing pocket queens). Action passed back to Meirelles, who tanked for roughly two minutes before calling the raise. Speculation was rampant amongst the gallery as to what Meirelles could possibly be holding in order to make that call, knowing that Lin had folded queens and that the small blind had folded jacks.
