Bad Day for Brazil
Brazilian Maria Mayrinck and the player in the small blind were tangling over a pot where the flop was 
.
Mayrinck had earlier suffered the ignominy of her country getting humiliated 7-1 by Germany in the semi-final of the World Cup on home soil. She has also lost her glasses, so following everything that is happening at the table is proving difficult. Despite these setbacks, she has remained cheerful. When it was checked to her, she bet 2,600.
Her opponent called and they both checked the turn card 
. The river was the 
and Mayrinck faced a bet of 9,000.
“You don’t have a nine do you?” Mayrinck asked and called. Her opponent turned over 
and Mayrinck showed her 
. “What is it?” she asked squinting to the far end of the table. The other players told her it was a flush and the dealer confirmed it by pushing the pot the way of her opponent.
Not the best day for the Brazilian so far, but on the other hand, Mayrinck has more than she started with and is still in the hunt for $10,000,000. Can’t be all bad.
