Kornuth Finds Value

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Chance Kornuth
Chance Kornuth

Action folded around to the small blind who limped. Chance Kornuth raised to 1,800 out of the big blind and his opponent called to send the players heads-up to the flop.

The small blind checked on a flop of {4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and then called when Kornuth continued for 1,400.

The {3-Diamonds} turn put four to a straight on the board and the small blind checked for a second time. Kornuth was unperturbed by the board texture and fired off 2,700, which his opponent called.

Both players checked on the {10-Diamonds} river and the small blind turned over {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for the busted flush draw. Kornuth had her beat with {j-}{6-} for the flopped pair of sixes to scoop the pot.

Lucky Number 23 Gets It Done for Anantasomboon

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

With around 5,000 in the middle on a {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} board, Varavoot Anantasomboon, who also goes by Jed, bet 2,300 from the small blind. The big blind and the cutoff both called.

On the {2-Spades} turn, Anantasomboon again bet 2,300. The big blind folded and the cutoff called.

The river brought the {5-Clubs} and Anantasomboon bet 2,300 for a third time. The cutoff called.

Anantasomboon showed {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for the win, beating his opponent's {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}.

If his bet sizing wasn't entertaining enough, it should be noted that he's sitting at table 523.

Dickman's Flush Takes Some From Rabichow

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Jeffrey Dickman raised to 1,200 from early position and Kevin Rabichow defended from the big blind.

The flop came {2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and Rabichow check-called a bet of 1,200. The turn was the {8-Clubs} and this time Rabichow led for 2,600.

Dickman called to see the {3-Clubs} on the river as Rabichow slowed down and checked. Dickman tossed out 1,500 and Rabichow called.

Dickman turned over {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} for a flush to take a bit off Rabichow's massive stack.

"You do good on these all-club runouts," a tablemate told Dickman after the hand, relating that Dickman had made a club flush with pocket queens earlier in the day.

Hagenlocher Wakes Up to Aces

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up as the small blind had already put in 7,300. Patrick Hagenlocher put in a raise to 17,600. His opponent, after a bit of thought, moved all in for somewhere around 60,000. Hagenlocher, with his opponent covered, snap called.

Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Patrick Hagenlocher: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

Hagenlocher had his opponent crushed, and the {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{4-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Clubs} runout did nothing to change that. After snapping a quick photo of the, as he put it, "bad beat... well not bad beat, just bad luck," the opponent headed for the rail while Hagenlocher stacked up his chips, sailing north of the 200,000 mark.
