Konopelko Finds a Dream Flop to Double
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Andrei Konopelko, on the button, found himself all in and at risk for his effective stack of 26,500 against Mark Steven Smith, in the cutoff.
Andrei Konopelko: Q♥10♥ 
Mark Steven Smith: K♥J♠
Konopelko was behind, however, the A♥Q♣8♥ flop not only paired his queen but gave him a flush draw for insurance. The 5♠ turn and 3♦ river changed nothing and Konopelko doubled up through Smith's monster stack.
