Hand #107: Chance Kornuth limped first to act, as did Anson Tsang before Thai Ha checked his button. The flop was {7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} Kornuth bet 85,000 and Tsang folded before Ha raised to 275,000. Kornuth called.

The turn was the {k-Diamonds} and Kornuth checked. Ha moved all in for 760,000 and Kornuth folded.

Hand #108: Alex Epstein raised to 175,000 Kornuth called on the button. The pair checked down the {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} board and Epstein won the pot with {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Hand #109: Kornuth limped and Epstein checked the button. The flop was {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Hearts} and Kornuth check-called 60,000. The pair checked the {j-Hearts} turn and Kornuth bet 120,000 on the {9-Hearts} river. Epstein raised to 375,000 and Kornuth then three-bet all in for 1,880,000.

Epstein used a time extension before calling.

Kornuth showed {6-Spades}{8-Spades} for a pair of sixes with Epstein showing {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for a jack-high straight to double up and leave Kornuth with 70,000 in chips.
