Joanne v. Joanne

Level 15 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We picked up part of a particularly Joanne-heavy pot just a moment ago. Joanne Dorin and Joanne Monteavaro mixed it up preflop to put about 10,000 chips in the pot as they headed off to the board.

The dealer spread out {10-Hearts} {7-Spades} {K-Spades}, and Dorin checked. Monteavaro flicked out a bet of 5,000 in the form of a single gray chip. Dorin proceeded to check-raise to 14,000, drawing a long stare from her fellow Joanne. "I'm not sure I believe you, Jo," Monteavaro said, smiling. Dorin sat as still as a statue, gazing off into space. She finally coaxed a fold from her opponent, and Dorin checked her cards several more times.

"Nuts," she said. "Stone. Cold. Nuts."

"Show me!" Monteavaro pleaded.

Dorin obliged, flashing a queen-high bluff at her opponent as the dealer pushed her the pot to boost her stack close to the 90,000-chip mark.
