Kornuth Takes an Early Pot

Level 1 : 200/300, 300 ante

Chance Kornuth raised the pot to 1,100 in the cutoff and was called by Roussos Koliakoudakis on the button. The two players went heads-up to a flop of {j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Kornuth checked to Koliakoudakis who bet 2,000 and Kornuth called.

The {q-Clubs} on the turn slowed the action as both players checked to the {j-Diamonds} on the river. Kornuth led out with a small bet of 1,000 and Koliakoudakis raised to 8,000. Kornuth responded with a re-raise to 28,000 and Koliakoudakis quickly mucked his cards.
