Konnikova Wins With Queens

Roxanne Lee Johnson

Niveau 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Maria Konnikova raised in early position to 6,000 and the player on the button three-bet all in for 76,000. Konnikova made the call.

Button: A♥K♥ All in
Maria Konnikova: Q♦Q♥

Unlike kings, queens are not an ace magnet so the board went well for Konnikova with 5♠3♠7♣9♣8♥ and the over pair was good for the win.
