Everyone Has a Piece as Konakchiev Smacks the River in Three-Way All In
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Simon Higgins moved all in for 320,000 from the button on a flop of 5♠K♣7♦, Valentino Konakchiev also put in his last 360,000 under the gun, and Habib Rachedi put both opponents at risk in the big blind.
Simon Higgins: A♣K♥ 
Valentino Konakchiev: K♠7♠
Habib Rachedi: 5♥5♦
Higgins showed top pair, Konakchiev had two pair, but Rachedi had flopped a set and was poised for the double knockout. The turn was the A♦ as Higgins also made two pair, while the 7♣ fell on the river to give Konakchiev a full house.
"Must be nice," Higgins said, not even waiting for the stacks to be counted down before leaving the tournament room. Konakchiev scooped the entire pot as he moved up past 1,000,000.
