Kornuth Dodges the River to Double
Level 22
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Alexandre Vuilleumier limped in with 8?7? before Chance Kornuth raised to 660,000 holding A?9?. Vuilleumier called to see the 5?3?A? flop.
He checked over to Kornuth, who continued for 200,000. Vuilleumier called as the 6? fell on the turn.
Vuilleumier now led out for 500,000 and Kornuth raised to 1,600,000 with his pair of aces. Vuilleumier then moved all in with a straight draw and Kornuth leaned back in his chair and waited for a count before calling off his last 2,260,000.
The river brought the 6? and Vuilleumier missed his draw as Kornuth doubled up.
