Konnikova Asks for Murthy's Whole Stack
Level 18
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
The action was caught with 45,000 in the middle and two players looking at a completed board of 9?Q?7?J?4?.
Neel Murthy, in the small blind, bet out for 24,000. Maria Konnikova, in early position, responded by moving all in for 405,000, covering Murthy.
Murthy went deep into the tank for several minutes, thinking aloud as he did so.
"I have so many blockers" Murthy claimed, finally deciding to make the call.
Neel Murthy: Q?10? 
Maria Konnikova: A?9?
Konnikova held the nut flush, sending Murthy to the rail.
"Nice check on the turn" Murthy complimented Konnikova as he exited the tournament floor.
