Minkin, Chai on Big Stacks

Level 14 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Kelly Minkin raised to 20,500 on a {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} flop, and her opponent on the button went all in over the top. Minkin made the call.

Kelly Minkin: {j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

Minkin had the nuts, but the button opponent had the open-ended straight flush draw. The turn {10-Spades} and river {7-Clubs} clinched the win for Minking, who's now over the 300k mark.

One table over, Paul Chai is on an even big bigger stack, with nearly 400k. Minkin and Chai are two of the big blindgest stacks in play as Day 1b approaches its conclusion.
