Kornuth's Live Tricks Can't Help Him

Level 6 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Chance Kornuth put heads-up opponent Micah Raskin to the test on a flop of 2310 by moving all in as Raskin considered calling off for his remaining 181,000.

Raskin stood up and eyed Kornuth, who had been sitting still with his hat pulled over his eyes. Kornuth then lifted his hat and stared back at Raskin as Dan Smith broke into laughter from the next seat. Raskin called.

"It didn't work," Kornuth said.

Micah Raskin: JJ
Chance Kornuth: KJ

Raskin was far ahead with jacks to the king-high of Kornuth and nothing changed on the 35 runout to earn him a double.

"I just had to make sure it was you before I called!" Raskin said as he raked in the pot and left Kornuth with crumbs as he posted the big blind.

"I wasn't trying to get you to fold jacks," said Kornuth. "Maybe nines or a ten."
