Chance Kornuth and Ali Imsirovic

Chance Kornuth opened for 4,000 from the cutoff and Ali Imsirovic called from the button. Farid Jattin came along from the big blind and it was three-way action to the {k-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop.

Jattin checked, Kornuth bet 8,000, and only Imsirovic called to see the {9-Clubs} turn.

Both players checked and the {8-Diamonds} completed the board on the river. Kornuth bet big to 45,000 and Imsirovic paused for a bit before making the call.

Kornuth showed the {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a missed flush draw that turned into a rivered pair of eights, and then Imsirovic rolled over the winner with the {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for top pair.

"What a nit roll," Kornuth joked.
