Tice First to Advance to the Quarters
Level 27
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
On a board of J?5?2?8?9?, Chance Kornuth checked the river with around 150,000 in the pot. Landon Tice ripped all in and Kornuth was forced to lay his hand down, leaving himself with around 120,000 chips.
The next hand, Kornuth limped in on the button and Tice ripped all in from the big blind. Kornuth quickly called and the cards were on their backs.
Chance Kornuth: A?10?
Landon Tice: A?3?
The flop came K?9?5? and Kornuth was still in a dominating position. The 8? on the turn changed nothing but the 3? on the river gave Tice the lone pair to eliminate Kornuth. Tice advanced to the quarterfinals later today at 5:00 p.m. local time and has locked up at least a min-cash thus far.
