Konnikova Notches Up a Knockout
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Maria Konnikova had been nursing a below-average stack for a while after the dinner break but she has now reached sixes figures for the first time on Day 1a.
Bruno Chemla pushed all-in for the last 23,500 in the hijack and Konnikova went all-in over the top in the small blind to isolate.
Bruno Chemla: J♥10♥
Maria Konnikova: A♣K♦
The Q♥10♠5♣ flop improved Chemla to a pair of tens while Konnikova had two overcards and a gutshot at her disposal. Nothing changed with the 6♦ turn but the K♠ river restored the preflop order.
