Konnikova in Contention for Chip Lead After Massive Double Up
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jonathan Borenstein shoved for 54,000 from under the gun and Maria Konnikova called from middle position. Terrance Reid called from the cutoff before Andrew Voor moved all in from the big blind, covering all players at the table. Konnikova, who had started the hand with 462,000, made the call and Reid got out of the way.
Jonathan Borenstein: Q♦8♦ 
Maria Konnikova: A♥A♣
Andrew Voor: 9♥9♣
Konnikova held with the best hand on the K♦Q♣3♠5♠6♦ runout. Borenstein was sent to the rail and Voor took a big hit to his stack while Konnikova now holds one of, if not the biggest stack in the tournament.
