Konnikova Doubles Again, Then Busts
Level 22
: 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Shortly after quadrupling up her short stack, Maria Konnikova doubled up again. Action folded to Jeremie Zouari, who shoved from the small blind. Konnikova made the call in the big blind with fewer chips and players flipped their cards.
Maria Konnikova: K♠J♣
Jeremie Zouari: Q♣10♣
Konnikova was ahead preflop with her king high. The board ran out 5♥J♦A♦3♣3♦ to give her a pair of jacks on the flop and she held to double up her stack to over 300,000.
It looked like Konnikova was on the comeback. A few hands later, however, she was seen leaving the tournament room with a wave and a smile.
With that, the tables were redrawn.
