Maceiras Bolnicked

"I give everybody two cards, every time," dealer Shawn was explaining, perhaps because some of the players had forgotten which game they were playing. "But cards are irrelevant in this game anyway, aren't they?"

Either way, he indeed proceeded to distribute two cards apiece to the players, and they all folded except Maria Maceiras on the button who raised, and Joe Bolnick in the small blind who reraised. Call.

Bolnick check-called 1,700 from Maceiras on the {Q-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} flop, and they checked down the {6-Clubs} turn and {6-Diamonds} river. Dealer Shawn ordered Maceiras to show her hand first, but she folded instead. The pot was Bolnick's, and he flashed the {K-Clubs} at Maceiras, presumably just so she would know that he was not messing about.

Maceiras slips to 27,000.
