Mayrinck Runs Eights into Tens

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

From what we could piece together, Maria Mayrinck limped from early position only to have a player in middle position move all in for 4,475 more. Action folded back to Mayrinck and she hit the tank. A call constitute 75% of her stack, meaning this was one of those crucial spots in every woman's tournament. Eventually Mayrinck made the call and discovered the bad news.

Mayrinck: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out an uneventful {J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{K-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, leaving Mayrinck with a stack of 1,500.
