Konnikova Shoves the Turn; Pehlivan Finds a Small Double
Level 2
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Action was heads up with over 30,000 in the pot and 10♣J♦K♠6♦ on the the board when Sosia Jiang checked to Maria Konnikova. Konnikova shoved with around 15,000 and Jiang shuffled red chips with her left hand while she considered her options. After a few moments of thought, Jiang gave it up and the pot went to Konnikova.
Meanwhile, Omur Pehlivan was all in on another table for just over 4,000. Giovanni Salvatore was the one to look him up and the cards were already on their backs.
Omur Pehlivan: K♣Q♦
Giovanni Salvatore: A♣2♥
The board ran out 5♠3♣K♠6♦Q♠ and Pehlivan held on after a flopped pair of kings to secure the small double with two pair.
