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 Q85 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 88 for a flopped set, and that won him the pot.

Despite this setback, Martirosian has made up some ground on Kornuth.

A completed board of 9632K was spread across the felt with a little over 500,000 in the middle already. Harvey Castro was first to act and ripped all in for around 560,000. Aliaksei Boika asked for a count and then used a single chip to call.

Castro reluctantly turned over 74 for a missed straight draw and just seven-high while Boika tabled 32 for two pair to earn the pot and the victory.

Mike Shi Eliminated in 8th Place ($86,000)

Level 42 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Michael Shi
Michael Shi

Mike Shi raised on the button to 40,000 and Patrick Leonard reraised to 105,000 from the big blind. Shi called.

The flop came 932 and Leonard continued for 45,000. Shi once again made the call.

The K turn saw Leonard bet again, this time 60,000. Shi stuck around and the two went off to the river.

The A fell on the river and Leonard bet 100,000. Shi called pretty quickly. Leonard revealed KJ and that had Shi's K7 outkicked.

The dealer counted down Shi's stack and he was left with just 7,000 chips. "No offense to you, but if I don't win now I'm never playing poker again", Leonard declared.

Shi was forced all in from the big blind in the very next hand.

Leonard: 105
Shi: Q7 All in

The board ran out with the 1043KA and we don't have to hold Patrick Leonard to that declaration.
