Action picked up on the river in a hand between Nancy Wilburn in the cutoff and the player in early early position.
With about 30,000 in the middle and the board reading 6♠3♣A♦4♣10♠, early position bet enough to put Wilburn all in who had 15,900 behind.
Wilburn, who is representing the KOntenders league, took some time to think through her decision before making the call with A♥5♥ for top pair. She saw the good news when her opponent tabled 7♥7♠ for a pair of sevens.
