This Hand is the Nuts!
While there haven't been any eliminations in the past 90 minutes, there is no shortage of action and excitement where Leon Tsoukernik is concerned. On a board reading 
, the action was checked to Tsoukernik who bet 1,700,000 on the button. Chance Kornuth check-raised to 4,700,000 and Tsoukernik instantly folded. Kornuth showed 
as he laughed about his bluff but Tsoukernik responded by showing 
.
"We're the only ones playing around here," Kornuth said. "Everyone else is nitting it up."
In the very next hand, Kornuth opened to 450,000 and Tsoukernik was the only one to give him action. The flop came 
and both players checked to the 
on the turn. Kornuth fired out a bet of 800,000 and Tsoukernik called to see the 
on the river. Kornuth checked this time and Tsoukernik bet 1,700,000. Kornuth looked him up and Tsoukernik showed again, this time for a full house.
