Cervantes Binks River, Denies Minkin 450K Stack

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Kelly Minkin (L) and Kevin Eyster
Kelly Minkin (L) and Kevin Eyster

A massive pot of 140,000 was built up between three players after a {3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop. A player on the button was already all in and small blind Salvador Cervantes and big blind Kelly Minkin were left contesting the pot. On the {j-Hearts} turn, Cervantes jammed for 84,000. Minkin got a count, tanked a little over a minute, and called.

Kelly Minkin: {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Salvador Cervantes: {j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Third player: {5-Spades}{3-Spades}

Minkin was in command with so many pairing cards dead, and she mainly needed to fade a diamond. She did so, but the {j-Clubs} on the river gave Cervantes jacks full for the whole pot.
