Konnikova Wins With Queens
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Maria Konnikova raised in early position to 6,000 and the player on the button three-bet all in for 76,000. Konnikova made the call.
Button: A♥K♥ 
Maria Konnikova: Q♦Q♥
Unlike kings, queens are not an ace magnet so the board went well for Konnikova with 5♠3♠7♣9♣8♥ and the over pair was good for the win.
