How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?

Maria Maceiras, Niki [Removed:552], and Sorel Mizzi all saw a flop of {J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Maceiras checked, [Removed:552] bet 950, Mizzi raised to 3,000 and Maceiras immediately three-bet to 7,500. [Removed:552] 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.
