Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was followed from the turn with the 5♣9♥J♣ flop and 10♠ already dealt and three players in the hand. The pot stood at around 50,000.

Jason Kim (LA) raised from the button to 24,000 and got a call from the big blind. Maria Konnikova moved all in for around 110,000 and Kim took around a minute to make the fold, with the big blind staring him down the entire tank. The big blind snap called and the two remaining players flipped their cards.

Big blind: 8x7x All in
Maria Konnikova: Qx8x

The big blind had turned a straight, but Konnikova had turned a higher one with the queen.

The big blind was eliminated and Kim shared some table talk, stating they had K♣10♣ for a straight and flush draw on the flop, and shared that they would "usually call".
