Kornuth's Chance Pays Off

After a {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop, Chance Kornuth got all his chips in against one of the room's biggest stacks, Kevin Boudreau.

Kornuth: {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for the nut straight and a boat draw
Boudreau: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for the nut flush draw

The {10-Spades} turn and {a-Spades} river were both the right color for Boudreau, but neither were the right suit to make his flush. He doubled Kornuth to 705,000. Boudreau fell to 270,000.

Yadin Shemmer & Justin Smith Eliminated in 27th & 26th Places ($15,566)

Yadin Shemmer made it 37,000 under the gun and Ran Azor called to his immediate left. Justin Smith now moved all in - and it was back on Shemmer, who also moved all in. Azor called, covering them both.

Three-way all-in action!

Azor: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Smith: {q-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Shemmer: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{j-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Board: {8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

Azor turned a set of fours, and neither of his opponent's overpairs could improve. Both busted, and the now extremely happy Mr. Azor is up to 725,000.

Joe Serock Eliminated in 24th Place ($15,566)

This one is complicated, and funny, and sad, and above all, MASSIVE.

Ross Boatman raised pot in early position and Joe Serock flat-called. Scott Mandel re-potted, and Boatman called all in. Serock called too, and a side pot was formed.

Serock and Mandel saw a {q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop and Serock went all in for 245,000. Mandel called all in for 244,000, a 1,000 chip difference.

Boatman: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts} for a pair of nines
Serock: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for top pair
Mandel: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for an overpair and a flush draw

Turn: {9-Clubs}

River: {9-Hearts}

Yes, that's right. Boatman made runner-runner quads. As you do. He tripled up to 252,000, and after the hand went over and did a little dance in front of fellow Hendon Mobber Joe Beevers. Fair enough.

However, the more astute reader will have noticed Mandel, already ahead on the flop, had improved to a flush, meaning he took the chunky side pot and moved up to 490,000. Serock was left with just 1,000. It went in a couple hands later.

Serock: {k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Danny Smith: {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Board: {3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}

Smith flopped a flush, and that was that for Serock.

Josh Tieman Eliminated in 21st Place ($15,566)

Joshua Tieman - 21st Place
Joshua Tieman - 21st Place

There was an all in hand on all three tables, and Josh Tieman found himself on the losing end of one of them. He is out in 21st place, following fellow 2010 bracelet winner Ayaz Mahmood. That means we're guaranteed to add a new face to the summer's wall of winners tonight.
