Konnikova Soars to Over One Million
Level 21
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Heads-up action preflop had Pamela Balzano in early position raising to 60,000. Maria Konnikova, in the cutoff reraised all in for around 720,000 covering Balzano's 380,000, who called and cards were on their backs.
Pamela Balzano: 
Maria Konnikova: 
The board ran out 
with Konnikova being ahead the whole time and the king on the turn solidifying her win. This increased her chip stack to over 1,000,000 and sent Balzano to the rail about halfway through Level 21.
