In a heads-up pot on a board of 7♣9♦J♦A♦, Chance Kornuth bet 200 and Bin Weng raised to 1,500. Kornuth then three-bet to 6,200 to bring a quick fold from Weng, leading to Kornuth to show the 9♣.
"That's good enough!" said Weng.
"I'm willing to bluff with the best hand," said Kornuth.
The next hand, Weng opened in the hijack and Kornuth called on the button as the big blind also came along.
Weng continued for 400 on the A♠J♣10♥ flop and only Kornuth called. Weng sized up to 2,000 on the 4♥ turn and Kornuth folded.
