: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jose Nadal opened 12,000 under the gun, and both Barny Boatman and Anton Gililov called before Maria Konnikova put in the squeeze to 60,000. Only Boatman stuck around with a call.
When the J♣7♠2♣ flop hit the felt, Boatman took the lead as he jammed for 87,000. Konnikova thought about it for about 45 seconds before sigh-calling.
Barny Boatman: Q♦Q♠ 
Maria Konnikova: A♠K♠
Boatman was ahead with his pair of queens and was able to fade the two overcards as the board completed with the 5♣ turn and the 6♥ river.
