Tough Start for the Chip Leader
Level 21
: 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Jans Arends raised to 500,000 from under the gun with K♣10♠ and Chance Kornuth flat-called on the button with A♦Q♠. The flop came Q♥J♦4♥ and Arends check-called a bet of 500,000 from Kornuth.
The turn was the 7♥ and Arends checked again. Kornuth sized up a bet of 1,800,000 this time and Arends quickly threw his straight draw into the muck.
