Hands #16-20: Heath and Kornuth Chop It Up from the Blinds

Level 17 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Hand #16: Ben Heath limped in from the small blind and Chance Kornuth checked his option. The flop came {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and both players checked to the {9-Spades} on the turn. Heath led out for 180,000 and Kornuth called to see the {2-Hearts} on the river. Heath checked this time and Kornuth was the one to bet 180,000. Heath called and both players turned over {q-}{9-} to split the pot.

Hand #17: Dmitry Yurasov opened to 130,000 in early position and Sam Soverel defended from the big blind. The flop fell {q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and Soverel check-folded to a bet of 175,000 from Yurasov.

Hand #18: Yurasov raised to 130,000 from under the gun and Nick Petrangelo three-bet to 470,000 in the hijack. Both Heath and Kornuth gave it some thought but elected to fold as did Yurasov when the action was back on him.

Hand #19: Elio Fox limped in from the small blind and Yurasov raised to 200,000 from the big blind. Fox called and the flop of {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades} hit the felt. Fox checked and Yurasov continued for 230,000. Fox still called and the {7-Spades} paired the board on the turn. Both players checked and the {6-Diamonds} completed the board. Two more checks and Fox tabled {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for the best hand.

Hand #20: Fox made it 135,000 on the button and both of the blinds folded.
