Konnikova Knocks Out Opponent
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
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".
