Korn Goes in Trap-Mode
Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Andres Korn limped with A?K?, perhaps hoping for a raise from Valentino Konakchiev, who didn’t oblige and checked his option with 8?7?.
The flop, though, showed Korn flopped the world when A?3?2? hit the board. Korn flopped top pair, top kicker to go along with the nut flush draw. Konakchiev also flopped the inferior flush draw. Both players checked and the dealer went to the turn, which produced K?.
Konakchiev checked, and Korn bet 850,000. Konakchiev check-raised to 2,600,000, but the aggressive move backfired when Korn immediately announced he was all in.
Konakchiev mucked his hand.
