The hand began when Cat Brown of No Limit Pub Poker Tour limped from early position and faced a raise to 27,000 from Ron Mangiarelli of Pikes Peak Poker. Brown called.
Brown and Mangiarelli checked the 4♦9♣7♥ flop to bring the 3♠ turn.
Brown bet 20,000 and was called by Mangiarelli.
The Q♥ river led to a check from Brown. Mangiarelli chose to bet 32,000, which put Brown into the tank.
Brown took considerable time to make her decision, but she arrived at the correct one as she made the call and found out she had the winner when Mangiarelli showed 7♦5♦ for a pair of sevens.
Brown tabled A♦9♦ for a pair of nines to claim the pot.

Domenico Armano of Eastern Poker Tour and No Limit Pub Poker Tour chose to raise to 12,000 from the hijack before Vincent Teutonico of No Limit Poker Tour jammed on the button.
James Shelton went all-in from the big blind for less, and Armano called to put both at risk.
James Shelton: 9♥9♠
Vincent Teutonico: A♥K♣
Domenico Armano: A♦A♠
Armano had both his opponents in rough shape, but Shelton began calling for the nine as the dealer prepared to deal the runout.
Shelton's wish was granted when the J♦9♦3♦ flop gave him a set, but he was far from out of danger as Armano held the ace of diamonds for the flush draw.
The J♠ turn soothed Shelton's worries of a flush as the 3♥ river awarded him the triple up.
Armano's aces were still good to win the side pot as he eliminated Teutonico.
