How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?

Maria Maceiras, Niki Jedlicka, and Sorel Mizzi all saw a flop of {J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Maceiras checked, Jedlicka bet 950, Mizzi raised to 3,000 and Maceiras immediately three-bet to 7,500. Jedlicka folded and Mizzi went into the tank, thinking the hand over as the other players at the table left for their break. Mizzi ultimately mucked, saving his remaining 10,800 in chips.

After the hand, Maceiras was up to 16,500 in chips. And if her last name seems familiar to you, she's the sister of EPT Barcelona final tabler Juan Maceiras, as well as the daughter of "Vietcong01," one of the most successful players on PokerStars.
