"You guys just missed it!" stated a player to the PokerNews reporter.

Kelly Minkin was stacking up an assortment of chips after just eliminating Ivan Galinec.

Minkin detailed to PokerNews that she held {K-Hearts}{7-Hearts} in the small blind, and called Galinec's button open of 35,000. Minkin then check-called a bet of 80,000 on the {K-}{A-}{8-} one-heart flop as the turn landed a blank.

Minkin checked, Galinec bet 350,000, and Minkin called. The river landed the {Q-}, and after Minkin checked for the third time, Galinec moved all in for 701,000.

Minkin called, and when Galinec revealed his {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, he would be sent crashing to the rail as Minkin soared to nearly 3.4 million in chips.
