Big Double Up for Tai Kornuth

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

Jenny Israel opened to 450 under the gun and it was called by Emily Tai Kornuth and the big blind player.

The flop came {8-Spades}{a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and the big blind bet 800. Israel made the call and Tai Kornuth raised it to 1,600. The big blind shoved all in for 2,975 and after some thought, Israel announced all in, putting Tai Kornuth's tournament at risk. The latter snap-called with {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for a set of eights, and was in good shape to win the big pot, facing {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} for Israel and {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

The turn {a-Spades} and river{6-Clubs} improved Tai Kornuth's hand into a full house and she climbed up to a stack worth 15,100.
