Poker Face {post it challenge}

Jan read the yellow post it note stuck to her office door.
Three words:
” poker”
“breakroom”
“noon”
The cards were dealt,“everybody in” George ask.
“Yeah, yeah were all in” Jan responded.
Tom tapped his fingers annoyingly on the table ” give me two”, carefully sorting his cards.
” You Jan”? “No I’m good” she smiled and sat back.
And Lynn? “Give me three” she took the cards and wrinkled her nose, “tell me again what beats what” giggling.
George took three, “well I’m out” he folded his cards tapped them three times on the table and laid them face down.
Tom intensely studied Jans face, she wet her lips and smiled looking him in the eye.
Tom rasied one brow and cocked his head.
George said “well”?
“Hang on theres a lot riding on this” Tom said still looking her in the eye.
He took a deep breath and smiled, “I”ll see your post it note pads and raise you a stapler”.
