"Of Course You Win"
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Maria Koutsouki, in the hijack, raised to 8,000, but out of turn, so David Salamanca to her right limped to keep Koutsouki in play. All the other players folded to Salamanca, who then called.
The dealer fanned a flop of 3♣2♦K♦ that Salamanca checked. Koutsouki bet 8,000, and she was called.
Both players checked the 8♥ turn and the J♦ river.
"I win," Salamanca said while flipping over A♣J♣ for a pair.
"Of course you win," Koutsouki answered while sending her cards into the muck. "But I lost the minimum," she added.
