Kevin Boudreau limped his button, and Chance Kornuth checked the big blind. They were heads up to the 
flop. Kornuth bet out 90,000, and Boudreau potted to 405,000. Very slowly, Kornuth made the call. The 
on the turn completed a flush draw, and Kornuth checked. Boudreau checked behind. The 
came on the river, and Chance bet out a scary-looking 450,000. "Call," said Boudreau quickly, not needing to count out the chips. Kornuth didn't even need to see a hand before starting to muck. Kevin showed 
for a set of tens.
"We have a hero," shouted one of Boureau's friends as he dragged nearly two-million chip pot. He is up to 3.4 million while Kornuth continues his slide down to 1.2 million.
Kevin Boudreau opened for 125,000 under the gun and small blind Chance Kornuth reraised the pot. Boudreau re-potted, they agreed to get all the chips in, and the cards were on their backs.
Boudreau: 
Kornuth: a somewhat esoteric 
Board: 
Boudreau flopped a Broadway straight, while Kornuth got two pair. He failed to fill up, though, and the roar from the Boudreau rail was deafening as their boy doubled up.
Boudreau - 2.3 million and the chip lead
Kornuth - 2.1 million

Chance Kornuth and Scott Mandel were heads up to a raised flop. It came 
, and Mandel checked. Kornuth checked behind to see the 
on the turn. This time, Mandel bet out 100,000. "How much do you have behind?" Chance asked him.
Kornuth moved his arm from in front of his stack in response. "It hasn't changed."
Chance potted, and they got it all in in under ten seconds. "One out," Mandel said when he saw the bad news.
Mandel: 
for a set of treys
Kornuth: 
for a set of eights
Earlier today, Danny Wong was eliminated from the $25k six-max tournament when his set of eights was rivered by an opponent whose set of threes rivered quads. Could it happen again here? The 
on the river said no, and Mandel was sent home in fifth place. Kornuth has even more chips now, with 3.3 million of the 6.9 million in play.

Scott Mandel raised and then pushed to a pot-sized reraise from Chance Kornuth. Mandel turned over 
.
"I have a very similar hand," said Kornuth. He turned over .
Mandel looked terribly excited as he stood over the table, one foot up on his chair. But in the end they chopped it up.
Board: 
Chance Kornuth raised to 80,000, and Kevin Boudreau called on the button. Danny Smith potted from the big blind, making it a total of 340,000. Kornuth cut out the green chips from his stack and made the big call, while Boudreau declined to risk that much. The flop came 
, and after a minute, Smith moved all for his remaining 400,000. Chance folded without much hesitation, dropping down to 2.3 million. Smith moved up to 1.3 million.
The loss of a few chips didn't keep Chance from entering the next pot. The next hand folded to him in the small blind and he raised to 100,000. Ted Martin called to see the 
flop, then folded when Kornuth bet out 160,000.
Next hand, Scott Mandel limped under the gun. Kornuth bumped it up to 180,000, and Martin called. The flop fell 
, and Martin check-folded when Kornuth bet 120,000.
Kornuth moved back up to 2,565,000.
Chance Kornuth min-raised under the gun and both Ted Martin and Danny Smith called in the cutoff and small blind respectively.
All three players checked the 
flop and they saw a turn, on which Smith bet out 110,000. Kornuth called quickly. Martin tanked up for a while before asking, "How much is in the pot?" He tanked for a while longer. Then he just called.
All three reverted to checking the river and both Kornuth and Martin turned over pocket queens - black ones for Kornuth, red ones for Martin. Smith made a face that said, "D'oh!" and the other two chopped it up.
Chance Kornuth bet out 140,000 on the 
flop. Kevin Boudreau called behind.
They saw a turn and this time Kornuth bet pot - a hefty 450,000. This time Boudreau folded, dropping to 1.18 million. Kornuth extended his chip lead to 2.65 million.
