Kornuth Winning the Early Exchanges
Level 25
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 0 ante
Chance Kornuth raised the button to 5,500, and Killian Desnos three-bet to 16,000. Kornuth called, and the players went to a flop of 2♠J♣10♣.
Both players checked the flop, and Desnos then led out for 10,000 on the 10♥ turn. Kornuth called both this bet and another bet of 25,000 on the 2♦ river.
Desnos showed down K♠3♥; Kornuth A♦6♠. Ace-high was enough to take the pot.
A few hands later, Desnos limped on the button and Kornuth checked his option.
Kornuth check-called a bet of 5,000 on the 5♦8♠9♣ flop. He then check-called again on the K♦ turn, this time for 10,000.
Both players checked the 7♣ river, and Kornuth tabled 8♦2♣ for a pair of eights. Desnos flashed the 5♥ before mucking his hand.
