An Knockout and a Free Lesson
The flop came out , and "Maridu" continued out with a bet of 2,600. Diego Serrano called in position while the big blind ducked out of the way.
Heads up now, fourth street brought a raggy , and Mayrinck fired a big covering bet. Serrano had just 6,300 chips left in his stack, and he thought it over for a long minute before splashing his remainder into the pot, looking very disappointed.
Mayrinck: (top-top)
Serrano: (flush draw)
The river bricked off for the at-risk player, the being of no use whatsoever. Mayrinck had knocked him out, but she wasn't sure she liked it.
"Why? Why?!" she asked, genuinely pleading with him.
"Eleven big blinds," came the short reply in Spanish.
"Fold! Fold!!" instructed Maridu. "Get them somewhere else! Just fold." After that quick lesson, she offered a sincere, "Very nice playing with you," as Serrano headed out.
Maridu is up to 46,000 just as the break approaches.
