Maridu Shocked but Retains Chips

Kind gesture from Maridu
Kind gesture from Maridu
The under the gun player opened with a raise to 1,000 before Maridu Mayrinck made it 2,300 to go.

Mayrinck's opponent made the call and checked the flop of {7-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. Mayrinck fired out 1,675, only to be check-raised to 4,000. Mayrinck called and pushed all in on the turn of the {6-Spades} after her opponent lead out for 4,000.

Her opponent sat in the tank and asked Mayrinck if she would show. After being turned down, she open-mucked her {6-?}{6-?}, and with Mayrinck in shock she kindly flashed her {A-?}{A-?}.

As Mayrinck raked in the pot to move to 31,000, she commented on how bad she felt and offered her opponent a 2% stake in her if she cashes.
