Stokes Gets Counterfeited

Frank Visser

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With a completed board of 8♠6♦2♦4♣4♠, Shaneil Stokes checked from the big blind to Chance Kornuth in the cutoff. Kornuth fired 100,000 chips into the pot of 140,000 and received an instant call.

Kornuth tabled 10♠10♦ for two pair, tens and fours. Stokes triumphantly tabled 8♥6♣ before quickly realizing that his flopped two pair was no longer good as Kornuth dragged in the pot.

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Andrew Lichtenberger opened to 10,000 from early position before Shaneil Stokes three-bet to 24,000 on the button. Chance Kornuth cold called in the big blind while Lichtenberger also came along for the ride.

Action checked to Stokes on the 4♣3♣8♦ flop and he continued for 30,000. Kornuth called while Lichtenberger got out of the way.

Kornuth led out 35,000 on the 6♣ turn but Stokes was not going anywhere, instead making the call.

The 8♠ river paired the board and saw Kornuth slow down, checking to Stokes, who bet 75,000. Kornuth took a long time to make a decision, burning through two time banks before opting to lay down his hand.

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Chance Kornuth raised from the cutoff preflop and Viktor Blom defended his big blind. Kornuth continued for 16,000 chips on the K♠10♠4♦ flop and Blom check-called.

On the J♦ turn, Blom checked once more before Kornuth made a pot-sized bet of 56,000. Blom tossed in a call and the 3♣ river subsequently went check-check.

Blom tabled K♣J♠ for two pair and raked in the pot when Kornuth added his cards to the muck.

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Picking up the action on the river, Isaac Haxton in the big blind was involved in a hand with Chris Brewer in early position.

With the board reading 7♦8♦9♥A♠A♦ Haxton checked to Brewer, who bet 150,000 into a pot of around 125,000.

Haxton went deep into the tank as he sat back in his chair with his arms behind his head, seemingly pained by the decision at hand. After much hemming and hawing, Haxton eventually made the call but mucked when Brewer tabled J♦10♦ for a straight to take a big bite out of Haxton's stack. Brewer, meanwhile, has enjoyed a hot start to the tournament that has seen his stack increase by more than 50% in the first two and a half levels.

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Yang Wang raised to 10,000 in middle position before Masashi Oya three-bet to 30,000 in the hijack.

David Coleman then made it 75,000 to go in the cutoff, forcing a fold from Wang. Oya spent two time bank extensions before making the same decision and the chips were added to Coleman's stack without the need for a flop.
