Kornuth Versus Wilson

Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Brock Wilson raised to 26,000 in the cutoff and Chance Kornuth called on the button while Andrew Lichtenberger called in the small blind.

The flop rolled out Q64 and action checked around to Kornuth who bet 25,000 to see only Wilson continue.

Wilson checked the turn 5 and called the 90,000 bet from Kornuth.

Action checked through on the river K and Wilson turned over A10 for ace-high. It was no good against Kornuth's QJ for a pair of queens and the 4-time WSOP bracelet winner took down the pot.

Kristen Foxen: KQ

There was little to sweat for Rezaei, as Foxen's king-queen didn't get anywhere near the 541062 board, seeing Rezaei double up.

The flop rolled out J94 and action checked to Weissman who bet 65,000. Mirrasouli burned two time extensions before jamming for 158,000 and Angelov folded while Weissman burned his last two time extensions and called.

Amir Mirrasouli: 1010 All in
Joey Weissman: A8

Weissman was unable to improve on the runout of 96 and the tens held up for Mirrasouli to double again.
