Juanda Jousts With Kornuth

Action folded all the way around to Chance Kornuth, who completed from the small blind. John Juanda checked his option from the big blind for a heads-up pot.

The flop came {Q-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Kornuth checked - prompting a 6,000 bet from Juanda. Kornuth called to see a turn, which brought the {J-Spades}.

Kornuth checked again and, undeterred, Juanda fired 18,000 into the middle. Kornuth slid his hand into the muck and Juands scooped the pot.

Juanda is sitting on 275,000, while Kornuth is still up for the day with 800,000.

Aces for Shak

Dan Shak
Dan Shak

A short-stacked player moved all in from early postion for 50,000 or so with {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} only to run into the {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} of Dan Shak in the small blind. The board ran out an uneventful {8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{x-}, and Shak chipped up to 620,000 while sending his opponent to the rail.

Deeb Charging

Francois Tosques raised from under the gun to 13,000, and it folded to Freddy Deeb in the cutoff. Deeb three bet it to 50,000, and Tosques thought for about 20 seconds before calling.

The dealer fanned out a flop of {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, and both players checked. The turn was the {q-Hearts}, and Tosques checked to Deeb, who fired out 60,000. Tosques came along, and the river brought the {5-Clubs}. Tosques checked again, and Deeb assembled a big bet of 110,000, and slid it into the middle Tosques went deep into the tank, thinking for about three minutes. He assembled the call, confirmed the bet was 110,000, and slid it in.

Deeb announced aces, and turned over {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. Tosques mucked his hand, and Deeb took the massive pot to get up to almost 600,000, doubling his starting stack coming into today.

Quads Will Do it For Fiore

Ajay Gnanasambanthan has just felt the wrath of quads, seeing his tournament come to an end in a three-way all in situation. The hand involved Kyle Bowker and Stefano Fiore, with Bowker having both his opponents covered. Gnanasambanthan was all in for 365,000 and Fiore all in for 142,000. This is how the hands looked before the dealer spread out five cards on the felt.

Gnanasambanthan: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Fiore: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Bowker: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Bowker had a strong enough hand to perhaps eliminate two players, while Gnanasambanthan was looking good to triple up. However, the {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts}{k-Spades}{9-Clubs} board would see Fiore double up his short stack, while Bowker would send Gnanasambanthan to the rail.

Just a Little Game of Limit Hold'em

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We found Daniel Negreanu and Ryan Young in a hand together. They were chatting it up and laughing. The flop came {6-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {2-Spades}, Negreanu checked and Young bet 6,000 (the minimum bet). Negreanu called and the turn came {K-Clubs}. Negreanu checked again and Young bet 6,000 again.

Negreanu called and the river came {3-Hearts}. Negreanu checked, Young bet 12,000 and Negreanu folded.

Cheong Chips Up at Layne's Expense

Joseph Cheong
Joseph Cheong

Robert Layne opened for 12,000 from the cutoff seat and Joseph Cheong quickly three-bet him to 28,000 from the button. Both blinds folded and action was back on Layne, who flatted.

The flop came {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The {2-Hearts} fell on the turn and Layne checked once more. Cheong nonchalantly tossed a single t25,000 into the middle and Layne called.

The {4-Spades} completed the board and Layne checked a final time to Cheong, who fired again for 33,000. Layne called and Cheong flipped over {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for a pair of aces. Layne threw his hand into the muck and a single {J-} was exposed on accident.

Cheong is up to 830,000.
