Kornuth Hits Two Pair After Defending Big Blind
Level 6
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Artur Martirosian raised 18,000 in early position, but met resistance when Brian Kim called in the small blind and three-time WSOP bracelet winner Chance Kornuth followed suit in the big blind.
The dealer placed 10?K?8? on the board, which Kim and Kornuth called. Martirosian bet 40,000, which saw Kim fold and Kornuth call.
The action went to the turn, where 3? showed up. Kornuth checked, prompting Martirosian to bet 100,000. Karnuth looked across the table at his opponent, and then called.
The river saw 5? on the board, which both players checked. Kornuth tabled 10?8? for a flopped bottom two pair, which won the pot after Martirosian mucked his hand.
