PokerStars Ambassador Konnikova Paid for the Straight
On the J♣Q♠10♣ flop, with approximately 4,800 already in the pot, PokerStars Ambassador Maria Konnikova executed a check-raise from middle position, raising to 3,900 after Christophe Morbee's initial bet of 1,300 from the button. Morbee opted to call.
The turn revealed the A♣, prompting Konnikova to swiftly put 10,000 into the pot, forcing Morbee all-in with just 10,500 remaining. Clearly displeased with the situation, Morbee deliberated before ultimately committing his chips. Konnikova, naturally, made the call.
Christophe Morbee: 10♥10♦
Maria Konnikova: K♥9♥
With Konnikova holding a flopped straight, Morbee needed help from another ten or a card to complete a pair for a full-house. However, the 2♠ on the river failed to provide the assistance he needed, and Morbee was eliminated from the tournament.
"You already got me on the flop," Morbee remarked as he departed from the table.
