Wroblewski: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Steicke: {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Wroblewski hides under the table and cannot look as the cards are dealt. The board lands {4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{5-Spades} and the crowd sighs as fan favorite Wroblewski cops an ugly beat. Wroblewski takes it well as she lets out a cry of "That's bullcrap!" - with a smile!
