Koroknai Three-Bet Jams Twice, Doubles Once

Marc Ladouceur raised to 410,000 on the button, and Andras Koroknai moved all in from the big blind. Ladouceur mucked, and Koroknai took down the pot.

On the very next hand, Greg Merson opened to 420,000 from under the gun, and the action folded to Koroknai, who moved all in for 4.325 million from the small blind. Elisabeth Hille folded from the big blind, and Merson snapped it off.

Merson: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Koroknai: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}

The {9-Hearts}{j-Spades}{5-Spades} flop was no help for Merson, and neither was the {7-Diamonds} on the turn. Koroknai dodged Merson's six outs when the {5-Clubs} completed the board, doubling to 9.91 million.

Merson is still very healthy with 16.935 million.
