Straver Doubles First Hand

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

When the action folded to Johannes Straver, one of the max-late registrants, in the hijack, he moved all in for 300,000. Chance Kornuth was the only player to call, doing so from the button.

Johannes Straver: A♣9♣ All in
Chance Kornuth: K♦Q♦

Straver improved to top pair on the 9♠4♣2♥ flop, and sealed the double-up on the A♥ turn before the 6♦ completed the board.
