Yu Doubles Through Konnikova

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Ben Yu

Timo Kamphues opened and Ben Yu called on the button, Maria Konnikova then three-bet to 6,000 in the small blind and that was called only by Yu. On the {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop, Konnikova made it another 8,000 to go and Yu called before the {8-Spades} turn brought a second barrel worth 13,000. Yu moved all in and Konnikova asked for the chips to be pulled in to see how much more it was to call.

Yu was all in for another 14,800 on top of Konnikova's bet and a reluctant call followed to create the following showdown:

Ben Yu: {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Maria Konnikova: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

The {10-Diamonds} on the river was a blank and Yu doubled, sending Konnikova all the way down to half the starting stack.
