Imsirovic Scores Third Knockout in Early Going

Level 2 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ali Imsirovic and Chance Kornuth had been battling over a few hands before things ignited.

It began when Kornuth raised from middle position to 4,000 and Imsirovic three-bet him to 14,000 from the hijack. Not to be outdone, Kornuth four-bet to 38,000 and Imsirovic just called to see the {3-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop.

Kornuth bet 25,000, Imsirovic called, and the {2-Hearts} appeared on the turn.

Kornuth jammed for his last 115,000 and Imsirovic wasted little time in making the call.

Chance Kornuth: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Ali Imsirovic: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

Kornuth was looking for one of the two remaining queens left in the deck, but it wasn't in the cards as the {6-Diamonds} paired the board on the river.
