Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Keven Stammen raised to 4,500 from under the gun and action folded to Kelly Minkin in middle position. She thought for a full minute before announcing that she was all in for her last 33,100 chips. Stammen wasted no time and called.

Minkin was at risk but ahead with {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, flipping with Stammen's {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}.

The flop came {j-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Minkin was still ahead with two sixes. The turn was the {6-Clubs} and Minkin smiled and said, "That's a pretty good turn." The river was the insignificant {9-Clubs} and Minkin doubled up.

"I knew you weren't folding. I was hoping it was ace-king!" Minkin continued.
