Kornuth Doubles Through Negreanu

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Chance Kornuth
Chance Kornuth

Daniel Negreanu limped in from early position, and Chance Kornuth did the same a couple of seats to his left. Yang Wang responded with a raise to 17,000 in the cutoff, which both Negreanu and Kornuth called.

Negreanu checked on the 106Q flop, but Kornuth took over the betting lead, putting 59,000 into the middle. Wang folded, but Negreanu called.

The A turn saw Negreanu check-call again, this time for Kornuth's remaining 10,000.

Chance Kornuth: 7763 All in
Daniel Negreanu: AKQ8

The 9 completed the board, and Kornuth pulled in a double up with his seven-high flush.
