Kornuth Gets Respect

Dan O'Hair

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Chance Kornuth was four ways on a 5?7?8? flop. The players in the big blind, middle position, and hijack checked to Kornuth on the button, who bet 1,600. Only the hijack called.

Kornuth was checked to again on the 2? turn and he fired 5,000 into the middle. His opponent quickly folded and Kornuth took down the pot.

The three-time bracelet winner already has over $3 million in cashes from this year's World Series of Poker alone, including a second-place finish in Event #2: $25,000 High Roller (Six Handed) and will be looking to make a deep run in the Main Event.
