Bousman Doubles
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Joan Bousman opened to 8,000 from early position and action folded around to the player in the big blind, who slid out a stack large enough to put Bousman all in for her remaining 84,500. Bousman made the call and hands were revealed.
Joan Bousman: 
Big blind: 
The window card of the 
flop was the queen, which got a "Nooo!" out of Bousman before a "Yes!" once she noticed the accompanying king.
The 
turn and 
river left Bousman best and she doubled through.
