Konnikova and Keating Take a Tumble
Jonathan Byrd opened to 1,000 from under the gun and Maria Konnikova called from the cutoff. Zachary Walker three-bet to 4,000 on the button and only Konnikova called.
The players saw the Q♥8♥K♦ flop, and checked to the 9♥ turn. Konnikova checked and Walker bet 4,000, prompting Konnikova to fold.
In the next hand Konnikova opened the hijack to 1,000 and Jesse Klinger called from the small blind.
The 3♥6♦8♠ flop saw Klinger check-call Konnikova's 700 bet.
Both checked the 5♣ turn to see the 10♠ river, and Klinger bet out 2,200. Konnikova mucked, handing over the pot.
The final hand saw David Wells open from early position to 1,000 and Konnikova called, sitting to his direct left.
The J♣9♦J♠ flop saw Wells check, Konnikova bet 1,100 and Wells call.
Both checked the 3♦ turn to get to the 5♣ river, which saw Wells bet 3,500 into the pot. Konnikova folded, and within three consecutive hands had taken quite a tumble in chips.
Alan Keating also recently took a seat at the same table, but sits with just over half starting stack, after also taking a fall.
