Kornuth Falls to Ace-High

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Chance Kornuth
Chance Kornuth

Vinny Lingham raised to 65,000 from early position, and one seat to his left, Chance Kornuth committed his final 40,000. Matthias Eibinger called in the cutoff, and Santhosh Suvarna called in the big blind.

The dealer spread a 9K6, and the action checked through to the 9 turn. Suvarna led out for 90,000, and both Lingham and Eibinger folded.

Chance Kornuth: Q3 All in
Santhosh Suvarna: AJ

Kornuth had plenty of outs to survive, but the K was not one of them, sending him to the rail.

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The sickest final table ever in a $600 buy-in World Series of Poker (WSOP) event will get underway Tuesday evening, and it includes two of the best WSOP Circuit grinders ever — Maurice Hawkins and Josh Reichard.

Here's where it gets crazy: Two of the top high-stakes pros in history — Daniel Negreanu and Alex Foxen — are at that same table. Basically, it's a battle of high-stakes G.O.A.T.S. versus mid-stakes G.O.A.T.S. for a WSOP bracelet.

There's another storyline in play as this final table approaches, and you're not going to want to miss the live updates right here at PokerNews, and that is Hawkins has a shot to finally win his first bracelet after having won a record 25 Circuit rings.

Thin River Value

Level 12 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Christopher Nguyen opened to 60,000 from under the gun, and Mikita Badziakouski called in the hijack.

Nguyen continued for 50,000 on the A38 flop, which Badziakouski called before the action checked through on the 3 turn.

A fourth spade hit the river with the 7 completing the board. Nguyen put a bet of 150,000 into the middle, and, after using a time extension, Badziakouski called.

Nguyen tabled AJ, and Badziakouski mucked his hand.
