Maridu's Queens Don't Hold

Maria "Maridu" Mayrinck raised to 450 before the next player moved all in for 1,700. The all-in player was the same played that bluffed with ace-jack against Maridu earlier. The action then folded around to the big blind and he asked what he could raise to. After some talk with the table and the dealer to see what he could make it, he reraised to 3,000 even. Maridu moved all in after the raise and then the big blind folded, showing pocket tens. Maridu tabled {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} against the short-stack player's {8-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}, hitting a set for the all-in player and putting Maridu behind. The turn brought the {K-Clubs} and then the river the {K-Hearts}. The short stack player tripled up while Maridu did win the small side pot to get some chips back and now has about 16,000

After the hand, the dealer was a little confused making change for everyone and giving the correct amount to each player. Maridu jumped in and helped, explaining to the dealer who needed what and how much.

Lynn had a chat to Maridu about the hand, and a whole lot more:
