With the board reading {Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, Kelly Minkin checked in the big blind and her lone opponent in middle position bet 700. Minkin called and the turn was the {5-Spades}. Minkin checked again and her opponent bet 2,000. She called again.

On the {9-Spades} river, Minkin bet 6,000, enough to put her opponent to an all-in decision as he had just over 5,000. Her opponent went into the tank and, after more than three minutes, he mucked.

Tablemate Josh Turner said, "You should have called. You could have been famous."

Minkin disagreed. "No, they would have written 'so and so eliminated'..."

She is now up close to three times the starting stack.
