Konnikova Cracks Aces to Send Isar Out
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Mihai-Emil Isar opened to 2,200 from early position and was called by PokerStars ambassador Maria Konnikova in the hijack, Mario Trattou in the cutoff, and Luka Bojovic in the big blind.
Bojovic checked to Isar on the Q♣9♣6x flop and he continued for 6,000. Only Konnikova called.
The 10♠ fell on the turn and Bojovic bet 7,600. Konnikova announced she was all in, which was enough to put Bojovic all in for 17,600 total. Bojovic quickly called and a showdown was held.
Luka Bojovic:A♣A♥
Maria Konnikova: Q♥10♥
Bojovic would need some help against Konnikova's turned two pair, but the 3♥ river bricked out and Bojovic was sent to the rail.
