Konnikova Running Hot
Level 4
: 200/400, 50 ante
Maria Konnikova has just eliminated another player from the Marathon field after getting it all in on the flop.
Konnikova raised from under the gun and saw five players call. The flop came down 
, and after the blinds checked, she continued for 2,900. Three players folded before her small-blind opponent raised to 6,000. The big blind got out the way and she quickly placed her stack of six T$5,000 chips into the middle, enough to put the small blind all in. He made the call and was ahead.
Maria Konnikova: 
Opponent: 
Both players had two pair, but Konnikova was behind until the turn brought a miracle 
for a full house and the river bricked. Konnikova moves up to 70,000 and her opponent exited.
