: 300/600, 75 ante
We arrived at Table 10 to see a massive pot being pushed to Dominik NItsche, while Maria Mayrinck was gathering her stuff to leave. According to Gabriel Nassif, Mayrinck opened for 1,400 and got three-bet by Nitsche to 4,200.

"What are you gonna do about it?" Nitsche reportedly asked.
In response, Mayrinck shoved and was called.

to bust her.
"Nice hand," Mayrinck said on her way out. "You run as pure as gold."
