Konnikova Flops the Nuts, Josephy Rivers Queens Full
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
The cooler of all coolers took place at a table in the back of the Wynn tournament area as Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy found himself all in and at risk against acclaimed author Maria Konnikova.
Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy: Q♠Q♥ 
Maria Konnikova: A♣K♣
The flop of Q♣4♣6♣ hit both players hard as Konnikova flopped the nut flush to be in front of Josephy's set of queens. The 2♠ turn didn't change anything, but a second deuce in the form of the 2♣ on the river gave Josephy a full house to put a devastating beat on the Biggest Bluff author.
"It was all going in on that flop, anyway," Konnikova said after losing most of her stack.
