Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
The action was picked up on the Q♠2♦9♠Q♥ turn. With a sizable pot of 35,000 in the middle, Pedro Padilha checked from the hijack. Maria Konnikova followed suit in the cutoff, after which the J♣ appeared as the river.
Padilha checked again, prompting Konnikova to fire a massive bet of 46,000, covering Padilha's remaining chips. Padilha thought it over for a while before he decided to preserve his 54 big blinds by mucking his cards.
