Kornuth Doubles Through Young
Level 14
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
After Justin Young opened for 100,000 in the hijack and Phil Ivey called on the button, Chance Kornuth raised to 1,800,000 in the small blind, leaving himself just over 200,000 behind. Young called and Ivey folded.
Chance Kornuth: 
Justin Young: 
Kornuth's queens were well ahead and remained so through the 
flop which gave Kornuth extra outs in the form of a gutshot straight draw.
The 
turn changed nothing, but the 
on the river gave Kornuth his straight, taking a huge chunk out of Young's stack.
