Kornuth Still Learning Razz Lingo

Level 14 : Limits 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Chance Kornuth: {x-}{x-}/{4-}{a-}{k-}{2-}/{x-}
Yong Wang: {x-}{x-}/{a-}{j-}{j-}{7-}/{x-}

Chance Kornuth bet on fifth and sixth streets as Yong Wang stuck around with calls.

Kornuth bet again on seventh and Wang called once more after a brief tank. Kornuth turned over {8-}{6-}{5-} for 6-5-4-2-A.

"Some people might call that No. 4," Phil Hellmuth said.

"You won't hear that from me. I was playing Razz in the 9-Game and it took me 30 seconds before I realized I had the second nuts," Kornuth replied.

Action was picked up in a three-way pot on fourth street between Daniel Negreanu, Jason Mercier, and Paul Sokoloff.

Daniel Negreanu: {4-}{6-}/{7-}{j-}{3-}{9-}/{x-}

Paul Sokoloff: {x-}{x-}/{6-}{k-}{8-}{2-} (Folded on sixth)

Mercier bet on fourth street and Sokoloff called while Negreanu raised all in for his remaining 11,000, getting a call from both players.

On fifth street Mercier bet and Sokoloff called.

On sixth street Mercier bet once more and this time Sokoloff folded, leaving the other two to turn their hands up. Mercier sweat his seventh street card to let Negreanu know if he was dead. Mercier turned over an {a-} leaving him with an eight-six and Negreanu turned over an {a-} to give himself a seven-six which was good for the pot.

Despite being at just under 10,000 a few hands ago, Negreanu has spun up his stack to over 100,000.

At another table, David Bach was eliminated and the field was brought down to 32.

Baker Folds to Kornuth's One Chip Bet

Level 14 : Limits 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Chance Kornuth: {x-}{x-}/{7-}{8-}{5-}{3-}
David "ODB" Baker: {x-}{x-}/{a-}{3-}{10-}{9-} - folded

David "ODB" Baker bet on fourth street and Chance Kornuth raised. Baker called, then called another bet on fifth.

Prior to sixth street, Kornuth threw in his last 1,000 chip.

"It's 1,000," Harrison Beach said as Baker didn't immediately call.

"I might fold because I'm probably drawing dead" Baker replied, and he eventually decided to do just that as Kornuth survived.
