Kornuth Hits Straight Against Saliba
Level 21
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Justin Saliba raised to 550,000 with the A?5? and Chance Kornuth called with the Q?J? in the big blind. The flop brought K?J?10? and Kornuth checked his second pair and open-ended straight draw. Saliba made it 600,000 to go and Kornuth came along to see the 9? on the turn which gave Kornuth the straight.
Kornuth checked once more and Saliba fired a second barrel for 1,300,000 to earn a check-call from Kornuth.
That brought the 2? on the river and Kornuth tossed out one time bank extension before he jammed all-in, Saliba instantly folded.
