Konnikova Catches Hart with Hand in Cookie Jar
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Maria Konnikova opened to 20,000 from the hijack and Brent Hart defended from the big blind.
Hart check-called a 17,000 bet from Konnikova on the A♦9♠2♦ flop before check-calling a 40,000 bet on the 10♠ turn. On the 4♥ river Hart led out with a bet of 150,000. Konnikova took about 30 seconds before making the call.
Hart could only show a bluff with K♦Q♣ while Konnikova had a pair with Q♦Q♠ to take the pot.
