Level 2
: 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Justin Young raised to 4,000 from early position and found all sorts of action. Four players made the call, including Chris Brewer to his left, David Farber on the button, and Chance Kornuth in the big blind.
"No squeeze?" joked a couple of players. Indeed, there was not, and five players saw the 
flop.
Action checked all the way to Farber on the button who bet 8,000. The bet didn't get far, as Chance Kornuth put in the raise from the big blind to 21,500. The rest of the table folded, but Farber made the call.
On the 
turn, Kornuth bet again, once more to the tune of 21,500. Farber thought for a bit and made the call to head to a river in a swelling pot.
The 
rolled off on the river. Chance Kornuth took a few seconds assembling his chips then slid all 67,500 he had left into the middle.
Farber asked for a count while he stared at Kornuth. He eventually slammed a stack of chips into the middle.
Kornuth showed 
for the drilled gutterball that made the nuts on the river.
"Wow," the rest of the table shouted together. Kornuth smirked and shrugged while he dragged the massive pot.
