Konnikova Wins With River Pressure
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Maria Konnikova raised to 2,200 from the cutoff and Alexander Jesionek called from the button before Jeremy Eyer came along from the big blind.
The flop was 9♣8♦A♥ and action checked to Jesionek on the button for a bet of 3,200. Both players called and the turn was 6♠.
All three players checked the turn and the river was 8♣. Eyer fired 6,000 and Konnikova raised to 18,000 before Jesionek folded. Eyer gave it some thought but it was too much and he got away from it to give Konnikova the pot.
