McKee Doubles Through Konnikova

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Melody McKee limped from middle position. Maria Konnikova raised to about 40,000 on the button.

Action folded back to McKee who limp-shoved for 186,000 and Konnikova had a decision to make.

"Last time you did this you had aces," she told her opponent.

Even so, Konnikova made the call to put McKee at risk

Melody McKee: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Maria Konnikova: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Off to the races, the board ran out {8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, McKee made a straight and took down the pot.

"One hand and you're back in the game," said a tablemate.

"I've doubled you up twice now, but this one was a good call," said Konnikova.
