and it checked all the way to the cutoff who put out a half-pot bet of 85,000. The small blind and Scalamogna called, with the late-position player getting out of the way.

turn.
On the river, Scalamogna put in his final 125,000 chips. The cutoff folded and the small blind shrugged and called.

"I got a great hand," Sykes said matter of factly.
"Is it ace king great?"
"That's not a great hand."
"Ace king isn't a great hand?" responded Liebert. "He's actually talking me out of it. But why would he say all this?" Eventually, she had made up her mind. "I'm gonna fold," she said, before moving her hand towards the dealer. Sykes turned over

"Is that not a great hand?" said Sykes.
