Davenport Increases His Huge Chip Lead
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Vladimir Minko raised to 400,000 in the hijack, Andrei Konopelko flatted on the button, and Damarjai Davenport defended in the big blind.
The flop came 8♣8♠A♦, Davenport checked, Minko checked and Konopelko bet 400,000. Davenport and Minko both called.
The turn brought the 9♥ and Davenport led out for 875,000. Minko got out of the way and Konopelko raised to 2,000,000. Davenport then moved all in, putting Konopelko at risk, who had about 1,800,000 behind.
Konopelko went into the tank before eventually tossing his cards into the muck. After the hand, Davenport let Konopelko choose a card to be shown. He chose the card on the left, and Davenport turned over the 9♣.
