Maria Konnikova Eliminated in 14th Place ($39,550)
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Maria Konnikova open shoved for 480,000 from under the gun and was called by Joel Micka in the cutoff.
Maria Konnikova: J♣10♣ 
Joel Micka: Q♥Q♣
Konnikova was in bad shape against Micka's queens and it stayed that way on the Q♦4♥2♥ flop as Micka made a set. The 9♥ on the turn gave Konnikova an open-ender but the 6♥ river bricked out as the PokerStars ambassador hit the rail in 14th place.
