Say My Nehme, Say My Nehme

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

Lea Nehme was short stacked and in the big blind as action folded around to the button, who happened to be one of the few men who entered the Ladies Championship. He limped, the small blind folded, and Nehme moved all in for 2,525 more. The big blind thought for a moment before making the call.

Nehme: {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Man: {6-Spades}{3-Spades}

"Really, six-three?" Nehme questioningly. Her opponent just shrugged and then watched the flop come down {3-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, giving him two pair. Nehme was clearly unhappy and desperately needed to catch an ace to stay alive. The {2-Diamonds} turn wasn't it, and neither was the {10-Diamonds}.

Nehme made a hasty exit from the tournament area.
