"Wrong color," Brito Silva replied as Eminoglu realized he had A♦J♦ instead of hearts.
"I thought I had the nuts. I wouldn't have raised you," Eminoglu said.

"I need to stand up, right," Beresford said, rising from his seat to await the river which came the 2♣. Beresford improved to two pair and doubled up, leaving Jachimavicius riding an extreme short stack.
