Kelly Minkin

Kelly Minkin was heads-up in what was turning out to be a big pot early in the tournament. With around 40,000 already in the pot, the board read {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. Minkin checked to her opponent who bet 15,000 and Minkin check-raised all in for 33,500. Her opponent snap-called and Minkin saw the bad news.

Kelly Minkin: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Minkin's opponent turned a full house and Minkin was left drawing to just two outs. The dealer burned and turned the {q-Diamonds} on the river and Minkin found a bigger full house to score a big double up.
