Konnikova Five-Bet Shoves; Kuo Doubles Off Yokosawa
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Maria Konnikova raised to 24,000 in middle position and Nick Marchington three-bet to 72,000 in the hijack. Jonathan Tamayo then four-bet to 175,000 on the button and Konnikova moved all in.
Marchington took around 30 seconds before folding, while Tamayo burned a few of his time banks and also folded as Konnikova took the pot.
At the same time at another table, Kitty Kuo was all in for 98,000 from middle position and up against Masato Yokosawa in early position.
Kitty Kuo: A?6? 
Masato Yokosawa: 7?7?
Kuo spiked an ace on the A?J?Q? flop to take the lead, while the rest of the board ran out 8?3? and she doubled up.
