Saeed Bests Kornuth Again

Omar Saeed started the action by raising to 26,000 from early position. Korntuh called from middle position, and Daniel Negreanu also came along in the big blind. The dealer fanned out a flop of {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades}, and Negreanu checked to Saeed, who fired out 47,000. Kornuth called, but Negreanu got out of the way. The turn was the {q-Spades}, and Saeed led out again for 78,000 Kornuth called that, and the river came the{6-Hearts}.

Saeed kept his foot on the gas, firing out a third barrell of 118,000. Kornuth tanked for about a minute before giving his hand up, and Saeed took another nice sized pot off of Kornuth. Saeed jumped up to 969,000 after the hand, while Kornuth fell to 953,000.
