Hardcastle Out Early After Kornuth Spikes the River
Jack Hardcastle opened to 800 from middle position and Chance Kornuth defended from the big blind.
The flop came 6♥5♠4♦ and Kornuth led out with a 700 bet. Hardcastle raised to 2,800 and Kornuth called.
Hardcastle bet 5,200 when checked to on the 5♣ river. Kornuth moved all in for 25,100 and Hardcastle, who had Kornuth very slightly covered, made the call.
Chance Kornuth: 6♣3♥
Jack Hardcastle: 8♦7♦
Hardcastle had flopped the straight while Kornuth had four outs after the board paired on the turn. The 5♥ river improved Kornuth to a full house and he doubled up.
"You know what's the best part of getting it in bad? When you suck out you get max value" Kornuth joked to his tablemates while he dragged in the pot while Hardcastle was left with just a couple big blinds and was eliminated shortly after.
