Cyndy Violette Loses Tough Hand

[user38368]

Cyndy Violette had a board of 3-K-K-8, looking at an opponent's 2-2-9-4. The opponent re-raised her bet on seventh street and she thought a long time, wondering if he had a third deuce. She called, as there was too much money in the pot. No third deuce, but A-A underneath for two pair beat her kings up, and she's down to 4700.

Hold'em Time

[user38368]

The HORSE has cycled. That's a bizarre mental image, but it does mean that we're back to Hold'em.
