Pot ($28)
Turn 9
Heroine bets $8
1 call

Pot ($92)
River 3
Heroine bets
Villain raises
Heroine re-raises

about this time some of the players start speculating about the hands (damn them!) and I heard the words "straight flush"
Heroine re-raises
Villain only calls
Heroine turns over Q
10
for a straight flush
Villain turns over A
3
for an Ace high flush
Dealer announces straight flush wins and pushes the pot to the Heroine at which point the Villain states, "That's mean, why would you raise me like that?"
