Romero Knocks Out Konnikova
Niveau 15
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With two palyers seeing a board of 10♠4♦5♦ and roughly 16,000 in the middle, Maria Konnikova checked from the hijack and Francois Romero bet 11,000 from the button. Konnikova put in a check-raise to 33,000 and after about 60 seconds of consideration Romero moved all in, covering Konnikova who had a little more than 40,000 behind. Konnikova made the call and was at risk.
Maria Konnikova: 10♣9♣ 
Francois Romero: J♦10♥
Both players had flopped top pair but Konnikova was behind with a smaller kicker. She couldn't catch up on the 3♠ turn or 8♦ river and was sent to the rail while Romero dragged in a sizable pot.
