Got to know when to fold 'em

And Somewhere in the dark the gamblers they broke even

Eight old poker fans dealt a deadly hand

Eight retirees with ties to the Big Apple all contracted the coronavirus during their regular poker nights in Florida — leaving three of them dead, according to a report.

The close-knit group played their last game at a condo in Aventura, a suburb 17 miles north of Miami, on March 21 — with one of them coughing and sniffing, the South Florida Sun Sentinel said.

Within weeks, all eight were stricken by the disease — three of them fatally — and the survivors believe they all became infected during their regular intimate gatherings, they told the paper.

“It’s a tragedy,” Harriet Molko, who thought she too might die during nine days in a hospital, told the paper.

“I don’t know how I made it,” said Molko, whose husband, Ronald Molko, also tested positive. “It’s just a nightmare and I’m trying to get over it.”

The three who died — Marcy Friedman, 94, as well as a couple, Beverly Glass, 84, and Fred Sands, 86 — were all New York natives with pre-existing conditions, the report said.
