“The picture will be more exciting when I double,” World Series of Poker gold bracelet winner Loni Harwood said after tournament staff grabbed a quick photo of her.

As luck would have it, the double came before she knew it.

Harwood was in the cutoff facing a raise to 14,500. She jammed for her last 77,500 and the button and blinds folded. After a minute or two, the original raiser called and Harwood was at risk.

Harwood: 9c9d
Opponent: AxJx

The flop smacked her opponent falling AcJc8s improving him to two pair. The turn 2s left her drawing slim. The river revealed the 9h — one of her two outs — giving her a set and earning her the double.

“Dirty,” she said raking the pot.
