Konnikova Runs into Aces
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Action folded around to Maria Konnikova in the hijack who shoved for around 300,000. Takahiro Tsugu then reshoved from the small blind with a covering stack and all other players got out of the way leaving Konnikova at risk.
Maria Konnikova: 9♥9♠ 
Takahiro Tsugu: A♦A♥
Konnikova was in bad shape against the best possible starting hand and couldn't catch up on the 6♦J♦J♥Q♣3♣ runout, resulting in her elimination while Tsugu scooped a sizable pot.
