Fast Start for Konnikova

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Maria Konnikova
Maria Konnikova

Maria Konnikova sat down at the table and greeted Barny Boatman with a hug before open-raising her first hand from late position. Boatman called in the small blind and John Howlett called in the big blind.

The board came 6♠A♥Q♦ and action checked to Konnikova, who continued for 300. Boatman and Howlett folded and Konnikova took the pot.

The next hand, Konnivoka open-raised again and took down the pot uncontested.

"I remember last time, I didn't play a hand for hours," said Konnikova.
