Maria Konnikova Eliminated in 5th Place (€84,800)
Level 33
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Maria Konnikova jammed for 1,075,000 in the hijack and the action folded around to Fabrice Maltez who looked down at his cards and called with excitement as he tabled his hand.
Maria Konnikova: A♠3♥ 
Fabrice Maltez: A♦J♥
Konnikova was dominated and the A♣K♠6♥ gave both players a pair of aces. The 3♦ fell on the turn to give Konnikova two pair to almost surely double up but the J♣ landed on the river to give Maltez aces and jacks.
