Konopelko Saddles Up Two Knockouts
Level 25
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Andrei Konopelko saw action folded to him in the hijack and opened to 90,000. Fidan Zahiti was next to act in the cutoff and three-bet to 240,000. Michal Janczarski then called all in for less from the button for around 170,000 total, and Yiannis Liperis went all in over the top of everybody for 865,000. Konopelko called to put Zahiti in the tank, and eventually he vocalized that he had to fold.
"You have kings, right?" asked Zahiti. Janczarski and Liperis were hoping Zahiti was wrong, but he wasn't.
Michal Janczarski: 
Yiannis Liperis: 
Andrei Konopelko: 
Konopelko picked up a small sweat for the main pot on the turn as the board ran out 
, but ultimately held to scoop everything and vault him over 3 million in the process.
