Maridu Survives Out-Flopping

Towards the start of the tournament, Maria "Maridu" Mayrinck managed to catch pocket aces followed by pocket kings. Each time, against the same opponent, she was forced to fold after putting him on a flopped set. She was right both times and although the sets cost her early, she has managed to climb back up and is surviving with a nice stack of 5,000.
