Players are on their first break of the day. Shortly before the break there was a three way all in. The flop was . A short stacked woman was all in with . Another player was all in with for a flopped set of 8’s. Both were behind the third all in player who held out of the big blind for a flopped straight. “How about a jack,” asked the woman, knowing that would giver her a bigger straight. “Pair the board,” said the player with the set. The player with the straight didn’t say anything but he didn’t have to. Everyone at the table knew what he wanted. No Jack. No paired board. The dealer listened to his silent request, putting out the on the turn and the on the river. The set of 8’s wasn’t out but the woman was.
