Konnikova's Superior Two Pair Topples Lasouski
Niveau 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Three players went to the A♠K♥4♣ flop, and Davidi Kitai checked from the big blind to Artsiom Lasouski who fired 1,800 from under the gun. Maria Konnikova was on the button and put in a raise to 6,000, forcing Kitai out of the pot and Lasouski made the call.
The J♠ fell on the turn and Lasouski checked to Konnikova as she continued for 15,000. Lasouski only took a couple of seconds before jamming for roughly 17,000 and Konnikova snap-called.
Artsiom Lasouski: K♦J♥ 
Maria Konnikova: A♦4♦
Lasouski turned two pair but Konnikova had flopped aces up and the 2♠ river changed nothing, sending him to the rail.
