Maridu Looking Doubly Good

We walked past Maria "Maridu" Mayrinck's table to see her sitting with a healthy 34,000 in chips. That's twice as many chips as she had last time by, so we asked her what the deal was.

Maridu three-bet her opponent before the flop, each player putting in 2,200 chips. On a two-spade flop of {3-?} {4-?} {J-?}, Maridu bet another 2,200 on the flop, and her opponent came right along. The {A-Clubs} fell on the turn, and the rest of the chips got in there. Maridu was working with ace-king for top-top, and her opponent was drawing doubly live with {5-Spades} {6-Spades}. The river "somehow" bricked off for Maridu, securing her double up to her current stack.

"I was getting it in there whether I hit my ace or not," she told us. "Swear to god. But you don't have to write that." You should know better than that by now, Maridu!
