Time to Soak Up Rays

After a raise and a reraise preflop, Maria "maridu" Mayrinck moved all in for 4,425 with {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}. Her opponent, Zack Gilbert, made the call and tabled {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts}. Both players shrugged as if content to race for an early double up.

"I haven't won one of these yet," said Mayrinck. "Maybe I'm due." The dealer ran the flop of {4-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}. "Or maybe not. Nice hand," she said, tapping the felt. The {J-Spades} and {2-Spades} filled out the board, and Mayrinck could not improve.

"Early bust-outs are good," she reminded herself aloud. She wished the table luck, grabbed her coffee, and headed for the pool.
