Minkin Unsure About the Laydown

Adam Lamers

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

After a raise to 35,000 from early position, Kelly Minkin was next to act and made it 100,000 to go. The action folded back around to the initial raiser who four-bet shoved all in for around 650,000.

Minkin went into the tank for a couple of minutes, trying to get a read off her opponent. "I don't think I can fold this," she added but got no response. Moments later, Minkin did find the fold but was still unsure about it. "Show me the bluff," she said with a laugh.
