Kornuth Plays His Favorite Hand
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
A player just arrived on the table and opened from middle position. Ronald Cleaver and Chance Kornuth called from the blinds and the three of them saw a flop of 5♦2♠6♣ with 12,000 chips in the middle.
Cleaver checked but Kornuth decided to lead out for 3,000 chips. The player in middle position called and Cleaver got out of the way. The 5♣ fell on the turn and both players checked.
The Q♥ then completed the board and Kornuth took another stab at it, betting 4,500 this time. A quick call followed from his opponent and Kornuth tabled 9♦5♠ for turned trips.
"Just trips huh?" the fresh player quipped. "Not a very warm welcome."
"It's one of my favorite hands!" Kornuth defended himself.
