Kornuth Spikes an Ace to Double Up
Level 16
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Action folded to Fedor Holz on the button, and he raised to 160,000. Once the small blind folded, Chance Kornuth in the big blind three-bet all in for his stack of 930,000, which was snap-called by Holz.
Chance Kornuth: A♣J♠ 
Fedor Holz: K♦K♣
Kornuth ran into the cowboys of Holz, but the A♠9♦8♣ flop put Kornuth ahead with a commanding lead. The J♦5♠ runout kept Kornuth in front, giving him the double up.
