Cornell Hits the Rail

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Picking up the action partway through the hand, Tyler Cornell in the cutoff was all in and at risk against Sam Soverel on the button.

Tyler Cornell: Q♥Q♠
Sam Soverel: K♦K♠

It was a cooler with Cornell on the wrong end. Nothing changed on the 8♣A♠6♣10♣K♣ runout, sending Cornell out of the tournament just prior to the three table redraw.

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Kristen Foxen raised to 50,000 from under the gun and Jans Arends three-bet to 125,000. Foxen took about 30 seconds before electing to four-bet to 300,000 which was enough to force a fold from Arends and take down the pot.

The next hand at the same table, Alex Foxen raised to 55,000 from early position and received a call from Talal Shakerchi in the small blind.

Shakerchi check-called a 95,000 bet from Foxen on the 5♦4♥3♠ flop leading to the 6♥ on the turn. Both players checked.

The river came the 8♥ and Shakerchi checked again. Foxen fired a bet of 175,000 and Shakerchi threw his cards into the muck.
