Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Maria Konnikova raised to 60,000 from the cutoff, Alexander Ziskin called from the small blind, and Kevin MacDonald three-bet shoved from the big blind for what looked like 475,000. Konnikova folded and Ziskin called to put MacDonald at risk.
Ziskin: 
MacDonald: 
MacDonald had the preflop advantage with the bigger pocket pair and Ziskin needed to improve in order to stack him. The board ran out 
which changed nothing, so MacDonald took the pot to double up.
