Maridu Doubles Up

[user24788]

Everyone's favorite spicy Brazilian dish, Maria 'Maridu' Maynrick, was short stacked and down to 6,000. She doubled up and now has 13,000.

"After all the bad beats I took today, it was time for me to give one out," Maridu explained.

J.C. Alvarado min-raised from UTG. He got a couple of callers. Maridu found {A-?}

and shoved. J.C. called with {A-Hearts}

. Maridu took the lead when she flopped a Queen, but there were two hearts on the board.

"It takes talent to be able to fade that flush draw," she joked.

And indeed, she did.
