Give the Guy Another Chance

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ryuta Nakai opened to 12,000 on the button and promptly faced a three-bet as Chance Kornuth moved all in for 76,000 in the small blind. Turbo Nguyen then four-bet shoved from the big blind for 189,500, which forced Nakai out of the hand.

Chance Kornuth: A♠6♥
Turbo Nguyen: A♦K♦

Kornuth picked up some chop outs on the 3♦10♣10♠ flop, but it was all over on the K♥ turn.

The 9♦ completed the board, and Kornuth was eliminated, for that bullet at least. He rejoined the tournament immediately and sat down at another table with a fresh stack.
