Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Chance Kornuth opened to 8,000 from under the gun and Shannon Shorr called from the big blind. The flop came Q♥8♦4♣ and Shorr check-called a continuation bet from Kornuth.
The turn brought the J♠ and Shorr checked again. Kornuth sized up a bet of 37,000 and Shorr called to see the 7♦ on the river. Shorr checked for the third time and Kornuth decided to check it back. Shorr flipped over Q♠4♠ for two pair and Kornuth mucked his cards.
