Maria Konnikova

Maria Konnikova has had a great year so far, already securing a win in the National, at the PCA earlier in 2018.

Today, she is no doubt hoping to build on her success with a deep run in this event and she has made a good start so far, building up to 20,000.

The most recent chips were acquired in a hand that she defended from the blinds versus a late position open.

Flop: {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}{k-Spades}

She check-called the 800 flop continuation.

There was no action on the {8-Diamonds} turn and on the {j-Hearts} river, she opted to lead, making it 1,700 to get to showdown. Her opponent didn't like the price and passed.
