Queens Bring Lady Luck for Minkin

AaronMcBride

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

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.
