Boudreau with the Hero Call
Kevin Boudreau limped his button, and Chance Kornuth checked the big blind. They were heads up to the 
flop. Kornuth bet out 90,000, and Boudreau potted to 405,000. Very slowly, Kornuth made the call. The 
on the turn completed a flush draw, and Kornuth checked. Boudreau checked behind. The 
came on the river, and Chance bet out a scary-looking 450,000. "Call," said Boudreau quickly, not needing to count out the chips. Kornuth didn't even need to see a hand before starting to muck. Kevin showed 
for a set of tens.
"We have a hero," shouted one of Boureau's friends as he dragged nearly two-million chip pot. He is up to 3.4 million while Kornuth continues his slide down to 1.2 million.
Boudreau Doubles Through Kornuth
Kevin Boudreau opened for 125,000 under the gun and small blind Chance Kornuth reraised the pot. Boudreau re-potted, they agreed to get all the chips in, and the cards were on their backs.

Kornuth: a somewhat esoteric 
Board: 
Boudreau flopped a Broadway straight, while Kornuth got two pair. He failed to fill up, though, and the roar from the Boudreau rail was deafening as their boy doubled up.
Boudreau - 2.3 million and the chip lead
Kornuth - 2.1 million

Scott Mandel Eliminated in 5th Place ($122,455)
Chance Kornuth and Scott Mandel were heads up to a raised flop. It came 
, and Mandel checked. Kornuth checked behind to see the 
on the turn. This time, Mandel bet out 100,000. "How much do you have behind?" Chance asked him.
Kornuth moved his arm from in front of his stack in response. "It hasn't changed."
Chance potted, and they got it all in in under ten seconds. "One out," Mandel said when he saw the bad news.
Mandel: 
for a set of treys
Kornuth: 
for a set of eights
Earlier today, Danny Wong was eliminated from the $25k six-max tournament when his set of eights was rivered by an opponent whose set of threes rivered quads. Could it happen again here? The 
on the river said no, and Mandel was sent home in fifth place. Kornuth has even more chips now, with 3.3 million of the 6.9 million in play.

The loss of a few chips didn't keep Chance from entering the next pot. The next hand folded to him in the small blind and he raised to 100,000. Ted Martin called to see the 
flop, then folded when Kornuth bet out 160,000.

Chance Kornuth min-raised under the gun and both Ted Martin and Danny Smith called in the cutoff and small blind respectively.
All three players checked the 
flop and they saw a turn, on which Smith bet out 110,000. Kornuth called quickly. Martin tanked up for a while before asking, "How much is in the pot?" He tanked for a while longer. Then he just called.
All three reverted to checking the river and both Kornuth and Martin turned over pocket queens - black ones for Kornuth, red ones for Martin. Smith made a face that said, "D'oh!" and the other two chopped it up.
