Yokosawa Builds Heaps, Kornuth Goes to Dinner Fired Up

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Masato Yokosawa opened to 30,000 in middle position and Chance Kornuth three-bet to 90,000 on his left. The action folded back to Yokosawa who called to see a flop of A?9?2?. Yokosawa checked to Kornuth who continued with a bet of 60,000. Yokosawa check-raised to 165,000 and Kornuth called.

The turn was the 6? and Yokosawa led out with a bet of 180,000. Kornuth still called and the 7? completed the board. Yokosawa announced a bet of 500,000 on the river which put Kornuth in the tank. With the rest of the field going on dinner break, Francisco Benitez opted to call the clock after just two minutes.

"You're calling the clock on me when it's dinner break?" Kornuth questioned. "You're just mad because I owned you in a hand."

The floor eventually arrived at the table and gave Kornuth 30 seconds to act. As the timer was expiring, Kornuth announced a call. Yokosawa turned over A?J? for the nut flush and Kornuth slammed his 500,000 chips into the middle.

"You're such a child," Kornuth continued to Benitez. "I'm gonna slow roll the s*** out of you!"
