Kornuth: "I Didn't Mean to Raise!"

Ryan Gray

Level 17 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

After a preflop raise, Chance Kornuth and Alexandre Vuilleumier both checked a 7♦7♣10♥ flop.

When the turn came 5♥, Kornuth checked from the big blind, and Vuilleumier bet 110,000 from middle position. Kornuth seemed to put 200,000 into the pot, but the dealer told him the raise had to be to 220,000 and Kornuth complied.

After a 7♠ river put three sevens on board, Kornuth led for 580,000 into the 1,300,000 pot. Vuilleumier folded, and Kornuth admitted to the table, "I didn't mean to raise there. I wondered why there were two bets there."

Level 17 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

In a blind versus blind battle, Ren Lin bet 60,000 on a flop of 2♣K♣Q♠ and Alexandre Vuilleumier called.

The turn came the J♥ and Lin checked over to Vuilleumier, who fired out 200,000. "Ay, mamma mia," Lin said before he eventually called.

The 8♥ fell on the river and this time Vuilleumier fired out 480,000. "Call," Lin immediately said, slamming his 7♠7♥ on the felt.

Vuilleumier turned over A♠8♣ and Lin thought he had made the right call before realizing Vuilleumier had rivered a pair.

"He has you beat," Sean Winter said as Lin ran away from the table.

"He knows," Chance Kornuth added.

"100 percent bluff. You're pretty terrible, but you're lucky," Lin said to Vuilleumier as he sat back down and patted Vuilleumier on the back, the two opponents sharing a laugh.
