Marchese Doubles Through Kornuth
Tom Marchese made the opening raise from the cutoff but we didn't quite catch the amount; by the time we arrived that initial raise had been pulled in because Chance Kornuth had reraised out of the big blind, an additional 88,000. Back to Marchese who re-popped for another 120,000 or so.
Kornuth tanked for a while, and then announced all in.
Snap-call.

There was a pause of some minutes as the TV crew first positioned themselves at one end of the table, then decided that they weren't happy there and lugged their equipment all the way around the tournament area so they could film from the other side instead.
"You want me to get up or anything?" commented tablemate Allen Bari, "So you can get a better shot?"
Eventually they found an angle they were happy with, and the board was dealt.
Board:
Marchese's double up was to around 2.25 million. It's hard to say with Mr. Kornuth still stacking in a giant pyramid, but we looks as though he is no longer the chip leader.
