Minkin's Ladies Crushed by Case Nine on River

Level 23 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Kelly Minkin

On a flop that read {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} Kelly Minkin had Eric Smidinger dominated in a set over set situation with {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} against Smidinger's {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, after they had got it all in.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds} to turn a boat for both players.

The river was the only card in the deck that could save Smidinger, the {9-Hearts}. As it fell all the players at the table reacted, generating curious looks from onlookers. Several pictures were snapped of the board and were no doubt added to social media to commemorate the extremely rare hand.

Minkin took it well and promised to run her stack back up, even though the devastating nine left her with a mere 60,000.
