Chance Kornuth raised to 36,000 from under the gun, Talal Shakerchi called in middle position and Kathy Lehne defended in the big blind.

The action checked to Kornuth, who bet out 66,000 on the 9♥K♦2♦ flop. Only Shakerchi called.

The 10♣ turn saw Kornuth bet again, this time for 185,000. Shakerchi elected to see a river.

The J♦ checked to a showdown. Kornuth tabled K♣K♥ for top set, winning him this pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The pot stood at approximately 250,000 with two players looking at a flop of 6♥10♣3♦.

Orpen Kisacikoglu, in early position, checked the action to Brian Kim, in the cutoff. Kim bet out 80,000 and Kisacikoglu called.

The 2♠ turn saw Kisacikoglu play in flow. Kim bet out 225,000 and Kisacikoglu check-raised, moving all in for Kim's effective stack of 825,000. Kim called.

Brian Kim: Q♠Q♦ All in
Orpen Kisacikoglu: J♠J♦

The 8♦ river changed nothing and Kim found the full double.

Level 6 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Kathy Lehne raised to 36,000 first-to-act and was called by Santhosh Suvarna from middle position and Aram Oganyan in the small blind.

Oganyan checked to Lehne on the 9♣K♠5♦ flop and she continued for 50,000. Suvarna folded and Oganyan called.

The dealer brought the A♣ on the turn and Oganyan checked again. Lehne fired 150,000 into the middle, which got a quick fold from Oganyan to award Lehne the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Sam Soverel opened to 35,000 from under the gun before Matthias Eibinger three-bet to 120,000 on his direct left. Sean Winter cold-called from the cutoff and Soverel got out of the way.

Eibinger check-called bets of 102,000 and 305,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read A♠3♠3♥8♦K♠.

Eibinger checked for a third time and Winter sized up to 750,000. Eibinger quickly called and then mucked after Winter tabled A♦K♦ for top two pair.

"How do you do it, Sean Winter?" asked Alex Kulev as his tablemate took the chip lead.

Underpair to the Board Is Good in Four-Way Showdown

Level 6 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu limped in from under the gun, as did Chance Kornuth in the cutoff. Talal Shakerchi completed in the small blind and Lewis Spencer checked his option in the big blind.

All four players checked to a showdown with the full board reading 8♣4♠Q♥4♦K♠. Shakerchi was first to table as he rolled over J♦10♦. Spencer flipped over 2♣2♦ for an underpair to the board, which was seemingly enough to see all three of his opponents muck their cards.

Level 6 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Three ways on a flop of K♦4♥7♣, Chance Kornuth checked from the big blind and Daniel Negreanu checked in the hijack to Alex Foxen, who bet 38,000 on the button. Negreanu folded and Kornuth called.

The 3♣ fell on the turn and Kornuth checked again — prompting a 171,000 barrel from Foxen.

This time Kornuth let his hand go and Foxen padded his stack.

Santhosh Suvarna opened to 27,000 in early position and Daniel Negreanu called in the cutoff as Kathy Lehne defended her big blind.

Lehne checked on the flop of 10♦8♦J♣ and Suvarna continued for 55,000. Negreanu and Lehne both called.

Lehne checked again on the 9♠ turn and Suvarna also checked. Negreanu bet 165,000 and Lehne folded as Suvarna check-raised to 425,000. Negreanu laid it down.
