Konnikova Doubles Through MacDonald
Level 26
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Kevin MacDonald raised to 150,000 from the button, Maria Konnikova three-bet to 600,000 from the big blind, MacDonald four-bet jammed, and Konnikova called to put herself at risk.
MacDonald: 
Konnikova: 
Konnikova had the preflop advantage and extended her lead on the 
flop, but it wasn't over as MacDonald picked up a flush draw. The 
on the turn gave MacDonald a few more outs, and although the 
river gave MacDonald a straight, it also gave Konnikova the a full house, so she took the pot to double up.
