Kornuth Sends Imsirovic Out Early

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Once we arrived at the table, Ali Imsirovic was all in for around 400,000 and Chance Kornuth was obviously his opponent. Imsirovic turned over {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and was flipping against the {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} of Kornuth.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Spades} and with the ace in the window, Kornuth quickly took the lead. The {j-Spades} on the turn gave Imsirovic a straight draw but the {a-Spades} on the river sealed his fate and Kornuth collected his chips.

Kornuth Has Imsirovic's Number Today

Chance Kornuth and Ali Imsirovic
Chance Kornuth and Ali Imsirovic

After battling on multiple occasions during Day 1, Ali Imsirovic and Chance Kornuth have found themselves seated next to each other once again. Imsirovic opened to 50,000 from under the gun and Kornuth flatted on his left. Johannes Becker also came along from the button and the three players saw a flop of {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

Imsirovic checked to Kornuth who bet 80,000 and Becker quickly got out of the way. Imsirovic called and the {q-Hearts} landed on the turn. Imsirovic check-called another bet of 215,000 from Kornuth and the {k-Diamonds} completed the board.

Imsirovic checked for the third time and Kornuth mulled it over but decided to check it back. Imsirovic turned over {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} but Kornuth had him beat with {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

Lichtenberger Doubles Through Grafton

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

After a couple of preflop raises, Andrew Lichtenberger and Sam Grafton got all of their chips in the middle with Lichtenberger being at risk for 377,000. Once the cards were tabled, things were not looking good for Lichtenberger who held {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} against the {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} of Grafton.

However, the {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop put Lichtenberger in the driver's seat with a pair of aces. Grafton was left drawing to the single remaining king in the deck and the {q-Spades}{8-Diamonds} runout would not do it for him.

Lichtenberger Raises Katz's River Bet

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading {9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades}, Cary Katz led out for 70,000 from the big blind into a pot of over 100,000. Andrew Lichtenberger called on the button and the {2-Hearts} landed on the river.

Katz tossed in a small bet of 25,000 and Lichtenberger used a time extension before raising to 225,000, leaving himself with just over 100,000 behind. Katz quickly let out a big sigh and dipped into the tank himself. After two time extensions, Katz finally released his cards to the muck and Lichtenberger collected the pot.

Wasserson Goes Runner-Runner to Double

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Elias Talvitie opened to 60,000 from under the gun and Eric Wasserson three-bet all in for 276,000 from the big blind. Talvitie called.

Elias Talvitie: {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Eric Wasserson: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Wasserson would need to win a flip, and the {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades} opened the door to some counterfeit outs, with any seven giving him a better two pair. The turn was the {q-Spades} giving him a gutshot, and the river {k-Clubs} completed his gutshot and Wasserson doubled up.
