Kornuth KOed

Just a few hands after losing Daniel Negreanu, we have lost another notable at the table: Chance Kornuth. He moved all in for 250,000, and it folded to Ricky Markowitz, who moved all in for a little more, 287,000 total. Everyone else folded, and we had a classic race on our hands.

Kornuth: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Markowitz: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The flop brought little help for Kornuth, coming down {6-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. He was still looking for a king or a queen, and while he didn't get it on the turn, the {10-Spades} did bring him straight outs. Kornuth would need an ace, king, queen, or nine on the river, but the {6-Diamonds} came instead.

Kornuth heads to the rail, while Markowitz is up to 588,000.
