Kornuth Wins a Nice One Without Having to Show Down
Level 21
: 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Igor Kurganov raised to 70,000 from the cutoff and Chance Kornuth called from the button. Both blinds folded and it was heads-up action to the 
flop. Kurganov bet 80,000, Kornuth called, and then both players checked the 
turn.
When the 
completed the board on the river, Kurganov led out for 240,000 and Kornuth thought for more than a minute before making the call. As soon as he did, Kurganov sent his cards to the muck, meaning Kornuth won the pot without having to show down.
