The first hand for the remaining three women was an exciting one. Lady Salem was dealt KJ and, buoyed by her previous victory, she raised to $3600. Drusilla had pocket sevens and reraised to $7500. These two ladies had been swapping positions all night, and Lady Salem wanted to settle the matter now. She reraised to $42,500 - enough to put Drusilla all-in. Drusilla took the challenge and called. For the second hand in a row, the women stood up and watched the board.
The flop was 3H 9S 2D - all too low to help Lady Salem. The turn 3S put Drusilla on two pair. Her Ladyship had one more chance for a jack or for a king (of which she had FOUR the previous round). The river came down - ten of clubs.
Drusilla won the $85,600 pot, doubling up. Carmilla was still leading on a stack of $107,600. Lady Salem, on only $12,700 was now below the $32K threshold that required her to remove her second-last piece of clothing. Miserably, she removed her bra. She was only $700 away from losing her panties as well.
Topless, she bent over while Drusilla practiced her backhand on Her Ladyship's panties with the paddle. The wealthy lady yelled a lot - this was the most painful thing to happen to her since the time she got caught streaking by the town shirrif, and was given a bare-bottom switching (see "What Women Dare 03").
Carmilla the maid had been smug and complacent through the dramatic events of the last few hands. She had stayed out of it, sitting on her chip lead.
But when Drusilla raised $3000 with pocket kings, Carmilla called, hiding her KQ hand carefully. The flop was 9H AC 6S, more worrying for the maid than her opponent. Drusilla bet $3000 again and again Carmilla called, waiting for some luck or a chance to bluff.
The turn, 9D, paired the board and was checked down. The river, JC, made Drusilla confident with her KK99, and she bet $4500. Carmilla decided now was the time to use her stack advantage to bully and bluff her opponent. She raised to $14,200. Perhaps Drusilla was looking nervous, but it was a mistake for the red-haired maid. Drusilla called her, and won the $41,000 pot.
For the first time, Carmilla was knocked off of the chip lead, and had to bend over for the paddle on her maid's dress. Drusilla had been coming last not long ago and was now chip leader. She didn't spare Carmilla, but gave her a thorough whacking.
Drusilla 106200
Carmilla 87200
Lady Salem 12500
With such a short stack, Lady Salem was forced to take any decent hand as a chance to double up. She decided her Q6 was good enough and went all-in. Drusilla, the new chip leader, called with pocket jacks.
Her Ladyship had little chance against a made hand, but prayed for a queen. But the board gave her only low cards: 5H 2S 5C 2C. The final 7S spelled the end of the tournament for her and therefore, as agreed, a nasty caning.
Since she was obviously below all stripping threshholds, Her Ladyship had to be naked for this ultimate penalty. She removed her panties as Drusilla took up the cane. Losing the money was the least of her worries - she had gambled for high stakes of pain and embarrassment, and now had to pay. Carmilla said how jealous she was, that once again she wasn't getting to deliver the punishment.
Lady Salem yelled and sobbed as the cane struck the generous proportions of her bare behind. Then (slowly) she sat down next to her fellow naked loser, Princess Annabeth, to watch the heads-up match.
The stacks were Drusilla $117,300 and Carmilla $88,600. Carmilla needed to pull ahead or she would not only be caned by Drusilla, but whipped by her mistress Lady Wilhemina for losing the stake she had put up.
