Kornuth Applies Maximum Pressure

Livello 7 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Chance Kornuth opened to 20,000 from early position and received calls from Isaac Haxton in the cutoff, a player in the small blind and Yang Wang in the big blind.

The flop came 10♣J♠5♦ and both blinds checked. Kornuth bet 20,000 again and received a call only from Wang.

Both players checked the J♣ turn leading to the 2♥ on the river. Yang checked again and folded when Kornuth bet enough to put Yang all in for his tournament life.

Rezaei went in the tank and used three time banks before landing on a call.

Kornuth's Live Tricks Can't Help Him

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 6 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Chance Kornuth put heads-up opponent Micah Raskin to the test on a flop of 2♥3♦10♠ by moving all in as Raskin considered calling off for his remaining 181,000.

Raskin stood up and eyed Kornuth, who had been sitting still with his hat pulled over his eyes. Kornuth then lifted his hat and stared back at Raskin as Dan Smith broke into laughter from the next seat. Raskin called.

"It didn't work," Kornuth said.

Micah Raskin: J♥J♣
Chance Kornuth: K♥J♦

Raskin was far ahead with jacks to the king-high of Kornuth and nothing changed on the 3♥5♠ runout to earn him a double.

"I just had to make sure it was you before I called!" Raskin said as he raked in the pot and left Kornuth with crumbs as he posted the big blind.

"I wasn't trying to get you to fold jacks," said Kornuth. "Maybe nines or a ten."

Livello 6 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With the board showing 5♦7♠4♣ Negreanu bet 30,000 into a pot of about 75,000. Yang Wang raised to 90,000 and Negreanu made the call.

Yang moved all in to put Negreanu at risk on the A♥ turn, sending Negreanu into the tank.

"It's gonna be a quick two bullets" Negreanu said while throwing in a time extension chip.

"You have a set? Which set?" he asked his opponent. After some time Negreanu flicked in the chips to call and was at risk.

Daniel Negreanu: A♦6♦
Yang Wang: 5♣3♣

Negreanu was ahead with top pair against Yang who had fourth pair and a gutshot straight draw. Wang did not improve on the river and Negreanu secured a full double up.
