Cornwell's Power Play

We mentioned it earlier regarding David Steicke but now we'll say it again about Mark Cornwell: it's good to have chips. On a flop of {A-Spades} {3-Hearts} {6-Spades}, the big blind and Cornwell checked to Shawn Buchanan, who bet 2,200.

That bet brought two check-raises, the first to 5,200 by the big blind and the second to 15,000 by Cornwell. 15,000 represented a fairly substantial portion of each player's stack and induced quick folds. By raking that pot, Cornwell has moved up to 62,000.
