We caught up with Catherine Calhoun on a flop of {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

. One of her opponents, the small blind, bet 2,500 before Calhoun raised all in from the big blind for 8,900. A player behind her reraised all in for over 60,000, bringing the action back to the small blind. He tanked for a while before eventually folding, allowing Calhoun and the all-in raiser to open their hands.

Calhoun: {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

Opponent:

{K-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

Calhoun was in serious trouble against her opponent's top pair and flush draw combination, but managed to hit one of her clean outs when the turn came {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

. The river was a safe {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

to allow Calhoun to double up to about 35,000.
