Olechnowicz Fires at Kornuth

David Salituro

Level 8 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Chance Kornuth raised to 35,000 in early position and Aaron Olechnowicz three-bet to 100,000 in middle positon. Kornuth spent a few moments leaning over the table staring at Olechnowicz before he called.

The flop came 6♠6♦3♦ and Olechnowicz bet 50,000. Kornuth quickly called and the 2♠ fell on the turn.

Olechnowicz then bet 125,000 and Kornuth stared at him again, but this time decided to fold.

Vinay Boob opened 32,000 in the hijack and both Matthew Belcher on the button as well as Geoffrey Hum in the big blind made the call.

All three players checked to the J♥5♦3♣7♣ turn, where Hum led for 75,000. Boob made the call, and Belcher asked to see Hum's stack before deciding to do the same.

The 10♦ fell on the river and Hum slowed down with a check. Boob fired 155,000 across the line, which Belcher called and Hum mucked his hand.

Boob tabled K♦J♠ for top pair but was shown the bad news as Belcher tabled J♣10♣ for two pair.

Level 8 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Chance Kornuth raised to 60,000 from the small blind and Aaron Olechnowicz called in the big blind.

On the A♠9♠9♥ flop, Kornuth led for 20,000 and Olechnowicz quickly called.

The Q♠ turn checked through to the 5♠ river which saw Kornuth lead for 40,000. Olechnowicz fired back with a raise to 300,000 which sent Kornuth deep into the tank. He got out calling chips and stared his opponent down, ultimately landing on the decision to call. He got the bad news immediately as Olechnowicz tabled 9♣5♣ for a full house as he dragged the pot.

Pascal Lefrancois was all in for around 120,000 against Rokas Asipauskas.

Pascal Lefrancois: K♥Q♥ All in
Rokas Asipauskas: A♠10♠

The flop of 10♦6♣J♥ hit both players and the runout of K♦J♠ left Lefrancois with the best of it to double up. Unfortunately it was a short-lived victory as Lefrancois was eliminated shortly after.

Level 8 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

There was already around 500,000 in the middle as Stanislav Zegal and Jianwei Lin went heads-up to a flop of 10♦3♣8♠.

Zegal then bet 135,000 from the small blind and Lin called on the button. The turn was the 5♥ and Zegal led out for another 205,000.

Lin went into the tank for several minutes, taking so long that several tablemates got up from their seats and began pacing around the table. Lin eventually moved all in and Zegal, with just over 400,000 remaining, snap-folded.

Lin showed J♦J♠ as he took in the pot.

Level 8 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Dylan Linde opened 32,000 on the button and Tom Fuchs three-bet 125,000 in the small blind before Joao Vieira four-bet jammed for 429,000. Linde quickly folded and Fuchs made the call.

Joao Vieira: A♥Q♥ All in
Tom Fuchs: A♣J♣

Vieira was in great shape until the K♦J♥6♣ flop hit the felt, giving Fuchs a pair of jacks to take the lead. The 9♥ turn gave Vieira a flush draw to go along with his straight draw but the 5♦ river was no help as he headed to the exit.
