Konnikova Eliminated by Wright

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Maria Konnikova, author of the New York Times bestseller Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes, has been eliminated.

Konnikova was short-stacked long before the bubble and her stack dropped even more today. She eventually ended up all in against two opponents, as they continued playing for a side pot through the {J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} board.

Konnikova then showed {A-Spades}{7-Clubs} but her bottom pair wasn't good as Erick Wright turned over {J-Spades}{8-Clubs} for a straight. Wright offered a "good game" and Konnikova thanked him before leaving with a member of the payout crew.

Wright is off to a great start, nearly doubling his stack within the first 15 minutes of today's play.
