Faulkner's Daring Bluff Caught by Kornuth

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Chance Kornuth

Over at the outer feature table, Chance Kornuth and Michael Faulkner were tangling in a single-raised pot. The flop was {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Faulkner check-called a unkown bet from Kornuth. Both players checked the {6-Clubs} on the turn.

Faulkner checked the {10-Spades} river to Kornuth, who bet around three-quarters of the pot. Faulkner check-raised all-in for around 1,500,000 and Kornuth had a decision to make. The Vegas resident spent minutes in agony mulling over his decision before deciding to pay it off.

Faulkner knew he was second best as he rolled over the {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, a pair of nines turned into a bluff. Kornuth showed {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a queen-high straight and eliminated Faulkner in the process.
