"I brought my glasses today because I can't see the upcards," Mike Thorpe said as he took his seat at the same table as Esther Taylor.

"Do you even need them?" Taylor replied.

"I want to seem like I'm trying," Thorpe added.

Taylor, in the meantime, had gone to seventh street with Long Tran when she bet. Tran then raised, Taylor reraised, and Tran called.

Taylor turned over A♥Q♥J♥ for the nut flush and low.

"That's what it takes to win here?" Thorpe said after the hand.

"That's not even enough," Taylor replied.

"He has a scoop face. I've played cash with him long enough," Thorpe added as Tran studied the board for a minute before mucking.

"My bad," Tran said.
