Queens Bring Lady Luck for Minkin
Level 28
: 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
Kelly Minkin moved all in for 1.5 million from middle position and saw Mark Zullo reshove for 4.3 million from the cutoff. The rest of the players at the table got out the way, and Minkin saw she was in bad shape.
Kelly Minkin: 
Mark Zullo: 
Board: 
Minkin, the last remaining woman in the Main Event, spiked a queen on the flop to take the lead, and her rail cheered in the ESPN Main Stage arena. The turn didn't help Zullo, and the river queen of spades only increased Minkin's hand to trips and secured her a lifeline.
