Kornuth Has Enough of Arkhipov
Level 3
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ilia Arkhipov raised to 10,000 under the gun and Chance Kornuth three-bet to 35,000 on the button. Arkhipov then four-bet to 120,000 and Kornuth folded.
The next hand, Kornuth had a raise of 77,000 in front of him in the cutoff and Arkhipov reraised to 160,000 in the big blind. Kornuth then moved all in for 355,000 and Arkhipov quickly called.
Chance Kornuth: A♣J♥ 
Ilia Arkhipov: A♠K♦
Kornuth found himself dominated and at risk as the flop came Q♠8♣10♠. Arkhipov hit top pair on the K♠ turn, but the same card improved Kornuth to a straight and the 5♣ river sealed his fortunate double up.
