Maria Demetriou raised to 1600 in late position and J. Burke called in the cut-off. Ordinarily this would be a nice opportunity for either the button or one of the blinds to make a squeeze play and pick up useful chips with a modest holding, so it’s no surprise when D. Nicolaou announces raise from the button. However, the size of the raise is surprising: another 9000 to play . The blinds get out of the way and fellow Greek Demetriou comments on the size of the raise before mucking. Burke follows suit. Nicolaou turns over A A and says “For you, Maria.” One suspects he might have lost some valuable business there.

Demetriou bet 1000 when 3 turned and only Burke called. She then checked the 5 river and Burke proferred 1800 chips. Demetriou groaned as she reluctantly counted out the call. However, Burke indicated the call was good and flipped over A J for the bluff. Demetriou’s Q Q were good for a nice pot.
