With about 20,000 in the middle on the {j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades} turn, Naomi Raznavi was in the tank contemplating an all in bet of 11,600.

After a moment of thought, she called.

Short Stack: {j-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Naomi Raznavi: {k-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Raznavi was behind but the {k-Hearts} binked on the river and she made a better two pair with kings and tens to win the pot.
