The Stand-Up Trick Works Again
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Maria Konnikova had gotten her stack of 42,800 in the middle against Maxime Chilaud and both of their cards were on their backs.
Maria Konnikova: A♣K♦
Maxime Chilaud: A♦A♥
Konnikova saw she ran into a preflop cooler as she stood up and put her jacket on. "See you guys later," She said still smiling.
However, the K♣K♠7♣ flop changed her attitude, giving her trip kings to take the lead. The 3♥ fell on the turn, and the J♦ on the river to secure the double-up.
"I don't do the stand-up," She laughed. "I was really just going to rebuy."
