Doreen Doubles Twice

Doreen Mynhardt, the last woman standing in this event, goes all in for her last 60,000 or so. Karl Stark calls. Grant Ngot folds despite huge odds. Mynhardt shows {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Stark has {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}. The board comes {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Ngot folded 5-2, and would have made a straight on the turn to knock out Mynhardt (assuming he had been able to check the side down with Stark until the turn hit).

Then, several hands later, Mynhardt is all in again versus Ngot. Mynhardt has {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Ngot has {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}. The board is {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and Mynhardt climbs back into contention.
