Stopping by for a quick round of chip counts, we were pulled into a conversation with Amanda Musumeci and Allard Broedelet regarding a recent hand the two highly skilled players recently contested.

According to the talkative two, Broedelet - a proud native of the Netherlands who now resides in New York - opened for 6,000 under the gun to start the action. Musumeci three-bet to 13,800 and Broedelet flatted to see the flop fall {q-Spades}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. Musumeci then fired out a c-bet of 8,500 and once more Broedelet smooth-called, bringing the {9-Spades} to the table on the turn.

Musumeci threw another bet into the middle, this time for 15,000, only to see Broedelet move all in for about 15,000 more.

According to Musumeci, she was "O.I." at that point ("over it" being the latest addition to poker's acronym heavy vernacular), but she was also pot committed as well, and she called with her {A-}{q-}.

Broedelet did not hold a straight or a flush as Musumeci anticipated, but his {k-}{k-} put him on top nonetheless, and drawing to the case queen, Musumeci watched the river brick off. Despite the loss, she remains in good spirits, laughing it up with her tablemates and flashing her signature smile as she told the story.
