Konnikova Runs Into Stone's Trips
Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jacob Stone opened 100,000 in the hijack and Marcelo Bonanata called on the button before Maria Konnikova came along in the big blind.
The A?4?2? flop hit the felt, and Konnikova checked to Stone who continued for 100,000. Bonanata called, and Konnikova check-raised to 350,000. Only Stone stuck around.
The K? turn was checked through to see the A? pair the board on the river. Konnikova led for 250,000, and Stone quickly called.
Konnikova tabled 5?4? for a pair and a gutshot on the flop, and Stone took down the pot with trip aces as he showed A?Q?.
