Wong Applies Bubble Pressure

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jerry Wong raised to 12,000 and action folded around to the big blind who called.

The flop came down {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and the big blind checked over to Wong who sized down to 10,000. The big blind went into the tank for a bit before folding his {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} face-up.

"Not a good flop for you," said Wong as he raked in the pot.

Konnikova Eliminated Short of the Money

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Maria Konnikova
Maria Konnikova

Maria Konnikova was all-in on the big blind and three additional callers saw a flop, including Laurent Polito in the small blind.

The flop came out {3-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Polito bet 10,000 which the other two players called.

The turn came an {8-Diamonds} and Polito sized up to 37,000 which elicited two folds and the cards were turned up.

Maria Konnikova: {k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Laurent Polito: {10-Spades}{4-Hearts}

Polito had flopped trip-fours which was good against Konnikova's pair of threes. She was drawing dead before the {9-Diamonds} river completed the board and the total number of remaining was moved down to 72 players.
