Dan O'Hair
Dan O'Hair
Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Maria Konnikova opened to 500 from early position and was called by Terry Mefford on the button.

Both players checked on the 4♥K♥Q♠ flop and then Mefford called a 500 bet from Konnikova on the Q♥ turn.

The A♣ completed the board and Konnikova sized up for a bet of 1,200. This time Mefford let his hand go and Konnikova padded her stack.
