Cindy keeps the Sixes

Cindy rearranged the cards so that they go from low to high; high to low from the blonde's point of view. After a moment she pushed the seven and nine towards the center. She then pushed the Ace away as well. After Tom picked up the cards, he turned to Linda. She turned her hand over at once.

Ten of clubs

Four of hearts

Seven of clubs

Ace of Spades

Seven of Diamonds

"Like Cindy," Tom started, "You have a pair." He pointed to the two sevens Linda had shown.

"And like Cindy," he added, you have an Ace kicker. So you have the same decision as she had." Not surprising, Linda made the choice Cindy did. She pushed the ten and four away and then discarded the Ace.

Like in the first hand, Tom dealt all the replacement at once, and like in the first hand, he dealt them face up. Unlike the first hand, he dealt the cards to Cindy first..

"Queen of Spades, Jack of Spades, King of Clubs." Tom called out as he laid them out, "Nice cards, but they don't help any. You still have a pair of sixes."

"Two of Clubs, Three of Diamonds, Four of Spades." Tom called out as he laid out the replacement cards for Linda, "No help what-so-ever. However, you still have a pair of sevens, which means that you are safe this hand since no matter what I get, you have a better hand than Cindy." Linda smiled at Cindy. The blonde was too busy taking a drink from her beer to respond. Tom ignored this and dealt the cards for his own hand.

"Eight of Spades, Nine of Spades, Eight of Diamonds." Tom called out as he flipped them over, "Looks like I drew a pair. And since it is a bigger pair than yours, you have the lowest hand Cindy."

"Take it off! Take it off!" Linda encouraged.
