Kornuth Kicked Out by Nevanlinna

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The board read {3-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Diamonds} with just over 40,000 in the pot already.

Jussi Nevanlinna had a bet of 16,000 in front of him in the cutoff while Chance Kornuth was sitting in the under-the-gun position with the all-in button in front of him and his stack counted out to be 94,500. Nevanlinna was in the tank trying to figure out what to do. After quite a while, Nevanlinna grabbed one of his stacks of 5,000-value chips and put them in for the call to see the cards go on their backs.

Chance Kornuth: {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Jussi Nevanlinna: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}

They both had flopped a pair with Nevanlinna ahead with the higher pair. The turn gave them both the straight draw to split the pot.

The river completed the board with the {5-Diamonds} which meant that Kornuth's run in this tournament was over and he quickly left the tournament area.
