After a flop of Diamond AClub KDiamond 5, Maria Konnikova bets 3,000 from the small blind, and Matt Stout calls from under the gun.

The turn card is the Diamond 2, and both players check.

The river card is the Diamond 9, putting four diamonds on the board, and Konnikova bets 5,000. Stout thinks for a while before he raises to 18,500, and Konnikova lets out a sigh. Konnikova studies the board for a bit before she calls.

Stout shows Club JClub 10 for a jack-high bluff, and Konnikova turns over Diamond QClub Q to win the pot with a queen-high flush.

Maria Konnikova  –  66,000  (165 bb)
Matt Stout  –  15,000  (38 bb)
