Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Maniac has Kd 6d (flush, ace high).
Hero has Ah Ac (three of a kind, aces).
Outcome: Maniac wins 24.25 BB. </font>

It would have been nice to see Jd or 4d on the river. Not asking for advice.. just posting to show what I get to lose to on .50/1 limit. I'll chalk this one up to variance.
