Kornuth's Aces Get Cracked
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jake Schwartz raised to 17,000 in early position and Chance Kornuth pushed in his last 14,000 chips from the hijack. Sara Ralston also called on the button which created a small side pot.
The flop came 
and the action checked through to the 
on the turn and the 
on the river. Schwartz finally threw in a bet of 22,000 and Ralston let her hand go.
While the players waited for the action at the other tables to finish, Kornuth and Schwartz exchanged some words about their hands but neither player was sure if the other was slow rolling or not. "I have a feeling I'm going to the PLO tournament," Kornuth said.
When the hands were tabled, Kornuth turned over 
but Schwartz found a lucky runout with 
to eliminate Kornuth.
