: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Action folded around to the blinds and Loek van Wely raised to 125,000 from the small. Maria Konnikova three-bet shoved from the big for 680,000 and van Wely called to put her at risk.
Van Wely: 
Konnikova: 
Van Wely had a commanding lead with his aces and Konnikova needed a lot of help from the deck to preserve her tournament life. She picked up some additional outs in the form of an open-ended straight draw when the flop came 
. The 
on the turn made Konnikova's straight and left van Wely in need of a spade on the river. The 
changed nothing and Konnikova took the pot to double up.
