Kampen Spikes a Two-Outer to Bust Konakchiev
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
It's a brutal game this poker, as Valentino Konakchiev just found out.
Konakchiev opened to 1,000,000 from early position and Elliott Kampen three-bet the hijack to 2,800,000. When it got back to Konakchiev, he shoved for around 17,000,000, and Kampen quickly called with a covering stack.
Valentino Konakchiev: K♠K♦ 
Elliott Kampen: J♠J♣
The pocket kings of Konakchiev were well in the lead, but Kampen made a set on the J♥8♦7♥ flop to take the lead. A 2♥ on the turn put a third heart on board, but it had no relevance as neither player held a heart in their hand.
Konakchiev couldn't find any of the last two kings on the river as the 5♣ completed the runout, meaning he was sent to the rail as Kampen's stack grew to around 50,000,000!
