: 200/400, 75 ante
Most things were going Maria Stern's way today as she quietly built a stack of 42,000. She dropped a bit in a recent hand, however, where she defended her big blind against a middle-position raise to 1,000. Both players checked an all-diamond flop, 
. Stern took a 2,000-chip stab at the pot when the turn paired the board, 
. Her opponent called, then bet the 
river after Stern checked. Stern made a quick call. Her opponent tabled 
for the nut flush, a hand that was strong enough to drag the pot.
