Graham Doubles and More
Ruth Graham was in early position and raised to 1,600. Action folded around to Aaron Messmer, who called from the cutoff. Nate Zoller was on the button and also called. Pat PIneda then called from the small blind and the big blind defended, taking action five ways to the streets.
The flop fell 
and Pineda, first to act, thought for a bit before checking. The big blind followed suit, putting action on Graham, who made a continuation-bet of 3,000. Messmer and Zoller folded to put action back on Pineda, who check-raised all in. The big blind folded and Graham called all in for less.
Ruth Graham: 
Pat Pineda: 
Graham's aces had found themselves up against the flopped two pair that Pineda held. She called for a jack as the turn 
fell. She then stayed silent as the river 
became visible behind it.
"That works," she said, having improved to aces up after the river to double. Her stack was totaled to 12,100, which Pineda paid off as the pot was sent her way.
