The dealer put out a monotone flop of K♥Q♥4♥ and it checked to early position who continued with a bet of 2,000. Rice then bumped it up to 6,000, prompting the players in the blinds to get out of the way.
"Good hand," said early position, as she tossed her cards into the muck.
Rice flashed the A♥ as the pot was pushed his way.
