Kornuth Survives on the River
Level 7
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Chance Kornuth bet 56,000 from the small blind on a flop of 8♥4♥9♦ and Robert Cowen called on the button.
The turn was the 7♠ and Kornuth checked to Cowen, who bet 100,000. Kornuth called for his last 96,000.
Cowen showed J♦J♥10♠4♠ for a straight, while Kornuth had a flush draw with A♥10♣6♥5♣. The 9♥ river gave Kornuth his flush, and he earned the double-up.
