Showdown
Ma: 
Cavanaugh: 
The 
flop was a big miss for Cavanaugh, and he stretched his arms out sideways, palms-up in plea to the poker gods.
The turn made things interesting. Cavanaugh picked up a club draw, and he and Ma were both smirking a little.
"It's a sweat," Cavanaugh quipped nervously.
"A good sweat," Ma responded.
"A good sweat," Cavanaugh repeated. "Come on, club. One time!"
The river was not a club. But the was one of the red outs for Cavanaugh. He spiked on the end to tally the double, and he's finally back in this match.
