Kornuth Shows Aggression in Small Blind

Herbie Teope

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

A player on the cutoff raised to 900, which a player on the button called.

Action fell on three-time WSOP bracelet winner Chance Kornuth, who apparently had other ideas instead of flatting in the small blind.

Kornuth reached down into his chip stack and three-bet to 3,500, which prompted the player in the big blind and original raiser to fold. The player on the button, though, elected to make the call.

The dealer fanned 2♠10♥K♦ on the flop, and Kornuth continued with aggression by leading out with a 3,600 bet. His opponent looked at the board, and then folded.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Three-way action went to a flop of 2♣A♠6♥. Maxime Chilaud tossed out 1,000 from under the gun, Jonathan Little called in the cutoff and Aliaksandr Shylko also called in the big blind.

The turn was the 5♦. Chilaud continued with another bet for 3,800 which both opponents called again after a bit of thought from each.

The river came the K♣. Chilaud checked this time which opened the door for Little to bet 12,000. Shylko thought for about 30 seconds before he folded, while Chilaud did so instantly to send Little the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

A player in early position opened to 600 and action folded around to John Pierce in the small blind who called. The big blind called as well.

The flop came out 9♣6♠6♣ and action checked to the early position raiser who continued betting for 1,100. Pierce called and the big blind folded.

A turn 6♦ saw both players check.

The river 9♥ put a full house on the board, and Pierce quickly bet 3,500. His opponent called after some consideration.

Pierce showed 9♠8♠ for a higher full house and his opponent mucked.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

A player at the cutoff position raised to 600, and then four-time WSOP bracelet winner Kristen Foxen, who was on the button, three-bet to 2,000.

The blinds folded, and Foxen’s opponent called.

The dealer fanned 9♦2♣2♦ on the flop, and the player at the cutoff led out with a 2,000 bet. Foxen quickly looked at her opponent, and then announced a raise to 7,000. Her opponent called.

The K♦ appeared on the turn, and Foxen’s opponent checked.

Foxen, however, did not slow down and made a 12,000 bet, which resulted in her opponent quickly folding his hand.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

A player on the button opened to 1,000 and Ron Fetsch called from the big blind.

The flop 3♣J♣4♥ saw Fetsch check-call a bet of 2,000 from his opponent.

On the turn K♠ Fetsch checked and his opponent bet 4,000. Fetsch promptly raised to 10,000. His opponent called and asked, "You think you're going to steal every pot from me, or what?"

The river K♦ went check-check and Fetsch showed K♣5♣ for trips before his opponent mucked, claiming that Fetsch "sucked out."
