Bleznick Tells Kornuth He Could Have Got More

Tim Baker

Level 6 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Heads-up to a flop of 8♥5♥3♣ with around 16,000 in the pot. Chance Kornuth checked from early position and Jared Bleznick bet 10,000 from the cutoff. Kornuth called.

The 9♥ turn went check-check for the 9♠ to roll off on the river. Kornuth bet 18,000, which Bleznick called. Kornuth revealed a flush with A♥Q♥10♠3♥ to win the pot, as Bleznick mucked in disbelief and said "you get all my money if you raise the flop."

Sava Krink

Level 6 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Kharlin Sued opened the action with a pot-sized raise to 5,600 from under the gun and found three callers.

The flop came 10♥Q♥2♦, and Sued announced he wanted to bet the pot. While the dealer took a moment to calculate the amount, Ryan Christopherson, seated next to him, moved all in for about 46,300. Action folded back to Sued, who quickly called.

Kharlin Sued: K♣K♦Q♣5♥ All in
Ryan Christopherson: A♥K♠5♠4♥

Sued had an overpair and top pair, but Christopherson had plenty of outs with a flush draw, straight draw, and potential to hit a better pair. The 10♠ turn changed nothing, but the J♦ on the river gave Christopherson the straight and sent Sued to the rail.

Katz and Gomez both checked on the 10♣4♣2♠ to Covington who loaded up and fired a bet of 65,000 on the turn. Both Katz and Gomez yielded as Covington dragged in the chips.

When it checked to Gergo Nagy on the 4♥10♠3♠ flop, he bet 2,500, only for Robert Emmerson to check-raise to 15,400 out of the small blind. From the big blind, Jim Collopy potted it to around 65,000, forcing Esther Taylor and Nagy to fold. Emmerson called for his few remaining chips and the cards were revealed.

Robert Emmerson: Q♥10♥8♠3♥ All in
Jim Collopy: A♥5♠3♣2♠

Emmerson had two pair and would need a clean runout to stay in the tournament. The rest of the board came 2♣Q♠ to give Collopy the winner with a flush, sending Emmerson to the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Jared Bleznick was standing up from his seat but raised to 4,700, adamant that he hadn't looked at his hand. He was asking for someone to reraise him, and Chance Kornuth obliged by making it 15,000 from the small blind. The action was back on Bleznick, who decided to finally look at his hand.

"Interesting", he said. He then threw in a green 25,000 chip and said raise, with the minimum raise being to 25,300. Kornuth made the call and the two were off to a flop.

The flop came A♠4♥9♣ and Kornuth checked. Bleznick fired 50,000, and Kornuth called.

The 6♦ fell on the turn, and Kornuth checked again. Bleznick bet a large amount and Kornuth folded before it was counted.

Bleznick showed three of his four cards, those three being the J♠10♣2♠, and he raked in the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Viktor Blom was entangled in a pot with Harrison Beach, which saw him hit the rail.

The hand began when Harrison Beach raised to 5,000 from the cutoff. Viktor Blom asked for more from the small blind and re-raised to 16,600. Beach called to see a flop.

The flop fanned out J♣2♥4♦, which led Blom to put in his final 16,100 for an all-in. Beach called, and the two were sent to a showdown.

Blom showed A♠10♥7♣2♠ for a pair of deuces, while Beach showed 7♠6♦5♦4♥ for a pair of fours and a straight draw. Blom found no improvement on the 9♠ turn and the 5♠ river to award Beach the pot.

Philip Sternheimer made it 5,600 from early position with Isaac Kempton calling on the button, and Chino Rheem defending his big blind.

After Rheem checked the 5♦6♣J♣ flop, Sternheimer bet 6,500, which only Rheem called.

The 9♣ turn prompted Rheem to check again. Sternheimer bet 22,000, and Rhem folded. Sternheimer was kind enough to reveal just the A♣ as the pot was sent over to him.

Isaac Kempton: A♠K♣K♥10♥

Kempton showed a flopped set of kings, and Reyf showed a flush draw and a straight draw.
