Adventures with Aces on the Bubble
Meanwhile, Christina Renz has been sitting on the short stack for most of the day. Just now she was in the small blind, and the the table folded around to her. She looked down at her hand, then at the 50,000 or so she had remaining.
Before acting, she had a question. If she turned her cards face up, would it kill the hand? The floor was called over, and it was explained that it wouldn't kill the hand, though she'd face a penalty for exposing her cards.
Renz decided against turning her cards over, and shoved her stack in the middle. The big blind folded, and then she showed her pocket aces.
