Minkin Survives All-In

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With blinds now at 500/1,000 with a 1,000 big blind ante, there are plenty of sub-20 big blind stacks in the room that will be looking to get their chips in and double up.

One of those stacks belongs to Kelly Minkin, who just moved her last 18,000 in over an early position opponent's 2,500 opening raise. The opponent called and they were off to see five cards.

Kelly Minkin: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Early position opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The board came {5-Spades}{4-Spades}{j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and the pot was chopped, but with blinds rising every 30 minutes, Minkin and plenty of others will find their chips in the middle soon.
