Kornuth Hits the Flop, Lin Spikes the Turn
Level 21
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Chance Kornuth limped in with Q♦8♦ before Ren Lin, in the big blind, raised to 480,000 holding A♥2♥.
Kornuth called as they went heads-up to the 3♣10♥8♠ flop. Kornuth checked his pair of eights, then called when Lin continued for 350,000.
The A♦ turn, though, gave Lin back the lead with a pair of aces and he bet another 475,000. Kornuth, peering at Lin from underneath the brim of his hat, again called to see the J♦ river.
Both players checked as Lin took the pot and increased his stack past 4,000,000.
