The Stand-Up Trick Works Again
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Maria Konnikova had gotten her stack of 42,800 in the middle against Maxime Chilaud and both of their cards were on their backs.
Maria Konnikova: A?K?
Maxime Chilaud: A?A?
Konnikova saw she ran into a preflop cooler as she stood up and put her jacket on. "See you guys later," She said still smiling.
However, the K?K?7? flop changed her attitude, giving her trip kings to take the lead. The 3? fell on the turn, and the J? on the river to secure the double-up.
"I don't do the stand-up," She laughed. "I was really just going to rebuy."
