Kornuth Immediately Doubles Up
Level 21
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
It didn’t take long for action to heat up on Day 3.
Biao Ding moved all in on the button with 5♥5♣ and action folded to Chance Kornuth, who looked down at A♦Q♦ and moved all in to put himself at risk.
The dealer ran out 6♣Q♥J♣, putting Kornuth in the lead over Ding’s small pocket pair. Ding had two outs remaining, but neither appeared as J♦ arrived on the turn and 10♠ on the river.
Kornuth secured a 9,075,000 pot for his double up.
