It's Like Christmas for Kristen

Kristen Jonkman survives a preflop all-in with {K-Spades}{10-Hearts} against her opponent's {Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} -- she hits the king on the flop for good measure and doubles up her woefully short stack to around 7,000.

Then a few hands later, she has a spot of good luck when an opponent bets 2,500 and then calls Kristen's 6,400 total all-in bet -- the opponent is holding {10-Clubs}{Q-Spades} but Kristen has picked up {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}, which holds up all the way to the river of the {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}{7-Hearts} board.
