Jeremie Zouari opened from under the gun to 40,000 and Maria Konnikova called all in for her last two big blinds in the next seat over. Marc Boyer was in middle positon and called in a laughing fit, and Soraya Estrada and Murad Akhundov followed suit as well.
To everyone's but Konnikova's disappointment, Christophe Benzimra then jammed 530,000 in the middle and all the players who still had an option opted to fold.
Maria Konnikova: A♥9♠
Christophe Benzimra: 6♥6♣
A great spot for Konnikova, who had more than five times her bet in the middle of the table. The flop 7♣K♦2♦ remained clear for Benzimra, but Konnikova hit a 9♦ on the turn to pair up. Her pair remained the best on the Q♠ river and she celebrated the win with a cheer.

Anton Kraous opened the action with a raise to 50,000 and Antoine Labat called on the button. Michal Mrakes then pushed all in from the small blind for around 600,000. Kraous called and Labat folded to leave two players in the pot, with Kraous at risk with slightly less chips.
Anton Kraous: A♠K♥
Michal Mrakes: Q♥10♣
The board ran out J♣3♠6♠5♦A♦. Mrakes couldn't find any improvement on the flop and Kraous hit a pair of aces on the river to seal the deal. He scooped the double up and Mrakes' stack was reduced to just a few big blinds.

Shortly after quadrupling up her short stack, Maria Konnikova doubled up again. Action folded to Jeremie Zouari, who shoved from the small blind. Konnikova made the call in the big blind with fewer chips and players flipped their cards.
Maria Konnikova: K♠J♣
Jeremie Zouari: Q♣10♣
Konnikova was ahead preflop with her king high. The board ran out 5♥J♦A♦3♣3♦ to give her a pair of jacks on the flop and she held to double up her stack to over 300,000.
It looked like Konnikova was on the comeback. A few hands later, however, she was seen leaving the tournament room with a wave and a smile.
With that, the tables were redrawn.
