Kornuth Continues To Chip Up

[user340040]

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Brett Shaffer was in the hijack and raised to 2,500. Ahmed Nimer was on the button and three-bet to 9,000. Chance Kornuth was in the small blind and took a minute or two before four-betting to 22,000. Shaffer immediately folded and Nimer quickly shoved in his remaining chips which appeared to be around 38,000. Kornuth called immediately and the hands were tabled.

Chance Kornuth:
Ahmed Nimer:

The flop was and Nimer was looking good. the turn was the blocking even more of Kornuth's outs but the river was the giving Kornuth Broadway and eliminating Nimer.

Kornuth explained after, "It's the show one card game's fault! If he had never shown the four before I wouldn't have thought he was raising light and I would have just folded my hand." The table got a good laugh out of the scenario and Kornuth is still running pure at the start of Day 2.
