Konnikova Eliminated Short of the Money

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Maria Konnikova
Maria Konnikova

Maria Konnikova was all-in on the big blind and three additional callers saw a flop, including Laurent Polito in the small blind.

The flop came out {3-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Polito bet 10,000 which the other two players called.

The turn came an {8-Diamonds} and Polito sized up to 37,000 which elicited two folds and the cards were turned up.

Maria Konnikova: {k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Laurent Polito: {10-Spades}{4-Hearts}

Polito had flopped trip-fours which was good against Konnikova's pair of threes. She was drawing dead before the {9-Diamonds} river completed the board and the total number of remaining was moved down to 72 players.
