Kornuth Hits Two Pair After Defending Big Blind
Level 6
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Artur Martirosian raised 18,000 in early position, but met resistance when Brian Kim called in the small blind and three-time WSOP bracelet winner Chance Kornuth followed suit in the big blind.
The dealer placed 10♦K♥8♠ on the board, which Kim and Kornuth called. Martirosian bet 40,000, which saw Kim fold and Kornuth call.
The action went to the turn, where 3♣ showed up. Kornuth checked, prompting Martirosian to bet 100,000. Karnuth looked across the table at his opponent, and then called.
The river saw 5♦ on the board, which both players checked. Kornuth tabled 10♠8♣ for a flopped bottom two pair, which won the pot after Martirosian mucked his hand.
