Konnikova Gets Away From One
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Alexander Jesionek raised to 1,500 from under the gun and Richard Green called from the small blind before Maria Konnikova came along from the big blind.
The flop was 7♠4♠5♦ and both Green and Konnikova checked into a 2,800 bet from Jesionek. Green folded, but Konnikova raised to 8,000 and Jesionek called.
The turn was 6♦ and Konnikova fired 7,100, but Jesionek raised to 28,000 and that was enough for her to give it up.
After the hand, Jesionek told Konnikova he would tell her what he had in exchange for information from a previous hand. Konnikova agreed and Jesionek said he had 8x7x.
