The PokerNews team was alerted to a sequence of hands where Karol Konopka sent two players to the rail.
In the first hand, Eirmas Tomkevicius shoved for around 400,000 from the button and Konopka called from the blinds to put him at risk.
Eirmas Tomkevicius: 
Karol Konopka: 
The board ran out 
and Konopka turned a set of tens to eliminate Tomkevicius in early Day 3 action.
A few moments later, Konopka was at it again. The Czech Republic native opened with a raise and Juan Vecino three-bet shoved for nearly 1,000,000. Konopka called to put him at risk.
Juan Vecino: 
Karol Konopka:
The board ran out 
and Konopka spiked a flush on the river to send Vecino to the rail and cross the 6M mark.
