The woman was new to the game and not aware of my range... but she was familiar with the Button so I am sure she suspected he had a hand. From the way she took her time and counted it out, I was certain it wasn't a premium hand (at least not one that was a threat to my Kings) but also certain that she was committed pre-flop. When she put the chips in, I was certain she wasn't going to be able to lay this down. She respected the Button much more than me and he was the one she was worried about.
This was officially hand #6 of the tournament. But it was the second tournament of the evening so I had some history with her from the previous game.
She didn't take nearly as much time to call me as the Button... maybe 5 seconds. It was fast. And I was watching her hand first when it was flipped (she was directly across from me). I almost thought, when I saw the AQd, that the Button might not have AA. But then I turned to my left... and his Aces are face-up on the felt. At that point, I felt fairly certain that the side-pot was mine. As I saw it... there was really only 1 disaster card left in the deck. Sure the straight or flush was possible... but I was terrified of the case Ace making both their hands.
