Konopelko Takes One on the River, Then Spikes a Boat
Andrei Konopelko bet 1,600 from under the gun on a flop of 10♣9♦3♥ and Skyler Roberts called in early position. Brandy Savage then raised to 3,500 in the small blind and both opponents called.
All three players checked the 4♦ turn before Konopelko bet 6,500 on the 7♦ river. Roberts quickly folded, but Savage gave it some thought before also folding after around a minute.
"I would've called in your spot, but not with you behind me," Roberts told Savage.
The next hand, Roberts raised to 600 under the gun before Jeffrey Muncy three-bet to 2,600 in early position. Erick Lindgren called in middle position, as did Konopelko in the big blind and Roberts.
The flop came 4♦4♥5♣ and Muncy bet 3,500. Lindgren and Konopelko both called. The 8♠ turn was checked through and Konopelko bet 12,500 on the 5♥ river.
Muncy called and Lindgren folded, claiming he had two jacks. Konopelko showed 8♦8♣ for a full house and Muncy tossed Q♥Q♦ into the muck.
