Konnikova Asks for Murthy's Whole Stack

Ollie Garland

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The action was caught with 45,000 in the middle and two players looking at a completed board of 9♠Q♣7♠J♣4♣.

Neel Murthy, in the small blind, bet out for 24,000. Maria Konnikova, in early position, responded by moving all in for 405,000, covering Murthy.

Murthy went deep into the tank for several minutes, thinking aloud as he did so.

"I have so many blockers" Murthy claimed, finally deciding to make the call.

Neel Murthy: Q♦10♣ All in
Maria Konnikova: A♣9♣

Konnikova held the nut flush, sending Murthy to the rail.

"Nice check on the turn" Murthy complimented Konnikova as he exited the tournament floor.

Yi Lin raised to 12,000 from under the gun, a player in middle position called and Elias Suhonen three-bet jammed for 36,000 from the button. Xiaohu Liu cold called from the small blind. Lin moved all in for 256,000 and both the player in middle position and Liu folded.

Elias Suhonen: A♠K♦ All in
Yi Lin: 6♣6♦
