Kornuth Value Bets River with Set of Eights
Level 43
: 10,000/25,000, 0 ante
Artur Martirosian raised to 50,000 on the button and Chance Kornuth three-bet to 175,000. Martirosian made the call and the two were off to a flop with 350,000 in the middle.
The flop was Q♣8♣5♦ and Kornuth checked. Martirosian fired out 105,000, which was called.
The two players then checked the K♣ turn, and the river put a fourth club on the board in the form of the 5♣. Kornuth bet 75,000 and Martirosian called. Chance showed 8♠8♦ for a flopped set, and that won him the pot.
Despite this setback, Martirosian has made up some ground on Kornuth.
