Kornuth Combines Table Talk and Fortunate River to Take Big Lead

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Chance Kornuth raised preflop to 24,000 and Patrick Kennedy called.

"That's the first large sizing you've called preflop," Kornuth said as the flop came {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{a-Clubs}.

"These board textures are so weird today, I never know what to do," Kornuth continued as he bet 9,000. After the call and before the turn, Kornuth exclaimed "I'm going to three-barrel the shit out of you."

The turn came the {3-Hearts} and Kornuth bet 23,000. Kennedy called once more and the table was silent for the final card.

With the {5-Hearts}, Kornuth led for 38,000 before asking the dealer if he could show one card, though his request was denied.

Kennedy called, Kornuth said "full house" and turned over {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}.
