Konnikova Scores Knockout
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Chad Eveslage opened to 8,000 from early position before Sebastian Harasim made the call from the next seat over.
Maria Konnikova opted to shove for approximately 94,000 on the button.
Alexander Farahi was committed and all-in for his final 1,000 in the small blind. Konnikova's shove pushed out Eveslage and Harasim to go to a showdown against Farahi.
Alexander Farahi: J♠6♣
Maria Konnikova: A♣A♥
Konnikova had Farahi in trouble as they went to a runout.
The 4♥K♥4♣ flop kept Konnikova in the lead.
The 7♥ turn was the nail in the coffin for Farahi, as Konnikova improved to a meaningless flush on the Q♥ river to secure the pot.
