Kornuth Upends Lin, Ivey Downs Hall
Level 10
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Chance Kornuth opened to 40,000 in early position and Ren Lin three-bet to 125,000 in the cutoff. Kornuth responded with a four-bet to 220,000 and Lin just called.
The flop came 10♥9♦2♦ and Kornuth threw out a bet of 150,000. Lin mulled it over for 30 seconds but decided to throw his cards away. Kornuth flashed K♥J♦ which got a staredown from Lin.
"No gamble, no future," Kornuth laughed.
Next door, Galen Hall was eliminated when his AxQx ran into the KxKx of Phil Ivey who has increased his stack since joining the field in the last level.
