Konnikova Runs Into Stone's Trips
Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jacob Stone opened 100,000 in the hijack and Marcelo Bonanata called on the button before Maria Konnikova came along in the big blind.
The A♥4♠2♠ flop hit the felt, and Konnikova checked to Stone who continued for 100,000. Bonanata called, and Konnikova check-raised to 350,000. Only Stone stuck around.
The K♥ turn was checked through to see the A♠ pair the board on the river. Konnikova led for 250,000, and Stone quickly called.
Konnikova tabled 5♠4♦ for a pair and a gutshot on the flop, and Stone took down the pot with trip aces as he showed A♦Q♣.
