Lazaro Can't Get Rid of Kornuth
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Chance Kornuth bet 50,000 from early position on a flop of 5♥8♦5♣ and Rene Lazaro called in the small blind.
The turn came the J♠ and Lazaro checked over to Kornuth, who bet another 85,000. Lazaro then came back with a raise to 300,000 and Kornuth leaned over the table to get a good look at Lazaro's bet before he called.
The 7♠ fell on the river and Lazaro slowed down and checked. Kornuth grabbed a few chips but ultimately decided to check back as Lazaro showed 7♣6♣.
Kornuth turned over 10♠8♠ for eights and fives to take the pot. "I was afraid I was going to have to raise if you bet," Kornuth told Lazaro.
