Kornuth Doubles Leaving Defending Champion Sturm Short
Level 20
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
The action folded around to Chance Kornuth in the small blind who shoved all in for 2,485,000. Leon Sturm was in the big blind and after he received the count, he tossed in a chip to signify a call.
Chance Kornuth: A?K? 
Leon Sturm: K?J?
Kornuth flopped top pair on the A?2?10? board but wouldn't have felt comfortable as the reigning champion Sturm picked up a flush draw.
That flush draw wouldn't come to fruition as the 3? turn and 9? river kept Kornuth's pair of aces in the lead which doubled him up.
