Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading 10♠9♣3♣9♥, Chance Kornuth bet 10,000 into a pot of around 15,000. Terry Fleischer check-raised to 30,000 and Kornuth played with his chips before shoving all in for around 55,000. Fleischer snapped him off and the cards were on their backs.
Chance Kornuth: K♦10♦
Terry Fleischer: K♠9♠
Kornuth was in a heap of trouble with two pair against the trip nines of Fleischer. The river was the A♠ and Kornuth exited the tournament area while Fleischer stacked another pot.
"You've knocked out 15% of the field already," Erik Seidel chimed in from the other side of the table.
