Konnikova Takes From Kawasaki Before Surrendering Double
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Michio Kawasaki raised to 3,000 from the button and Maria Konnikova called from the big blind. The flop was 
and both players checked. The turn was 
and it was checked through to see 
on the river. Konnikova fired 6,000 and Kawasaki called and mucked when she turned over 
to take the pot with three jacks.
A few moments later, Chino Rheem raised to 2,700 from middle position and Maria Konnikova called before [Removed:528] shoved his last 29,400 from the big blind. Rheem thought for a moment but he got out of the way and Konnikova called. Action was heads up and [Removed:529] was at risk.
[Removed:528]: 
Maria Konnikova: 
The board ran out 
and [Removed:529] held on with pocket kings to secure the double.
