Maria Konnikova limped the small blind and Nick Marchington checked his option in the big blind.
Konnikova led for 30,000 on the J♣8♣5♣ flop and Marchington called.
The 5♦ turn checked through to the 3♠ river which saw Konnikova check again. Marchington then put out a bet of 250,000. Konnikova did not take long before she stuck in the call.
Nick Marchington: 9x7x
Maria Konnikova: J♦9♥
Marchington was bluffing with a missed double gutter while Konnikova flopped top pair and made the correct call on the river.
