Kornuth Dodges the River to Double
Level 22
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Alexandre Vuilleumier limped in with 8♠7♣ before Chance Kornuth raised to 660,000 holding A♣9♠. Vuilleumier called to see the 5♦3♠A♥ flop.
He checked over to Kornuth, who continued for 200,000. Vuilleumier called as the 6♣ fell on the turn.
Vuilleumier now led out for 500,000 and Kornuth raised to 1,600,000 with his pair of aces. Vuilleumier then moved all in with a straight draw and Kornuth leaned back in his chair and waited for a count before calling off his last 2,260,000.
The river brought the 6♥ and Vuilleumier missed his draw as Kornuth doubled up.
