Konnikova Claims Early Bounty
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Picking up the action partway through the hand, Maria Konnikova in middle position had her opponent in early position all in and at risk.
Early Position: 4?4?
Maria Konnikova: A?9?
It was a coinflip with a potentially extremely valuable bounty on the line. The 10?8?10? flop kept the at risk player ahead, though the J? turn did give Konnikova an open ended straight draw to go with her two overcards. The 8? river double-paired the board, counterfeiting the pocket pair and handing Konnikova the pot plus bounty.
