A player in the big blind had left the table before his hand was dealt and Beth Shak sat in the small blind. After the action was folded around to the button, the player on the button bet large enough to put Shak all in.

"I just want his big blind," the player on the button said to Shak. Taking that as a tell about his hand, Shak called and turned over J-10. Her opponent showed {8-Clubs} {4-Clubs} and said, "Nice hand," after Shak flopped a jack. However, the board came running clubs to give her opponent a flush.

"Whenever someone says 'nice hand' it's the kiss of death," Shak said as she was picking up her things to leave the table. Just as she was about to leave, the big blind player returned and sarcastically asked, "Where you going darling? Dinner?"
