Kornuth Draws First Blood

Jim Murray

Level 19 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Chance Kornuth raised to 600,000 from middle position and was called by Alex Kulev in late position.

Kornuth lead out for 500,000 on the A♣9♠6♣ and Kulev made the call.

The two players would then check down the 2♦ and the Q♣ river, with Kornuth tabling K♦Q♦ for a rivered pair of queens.

Kulev mucked.
