Chance Kornuth - Jason Koon

Chance Kornuth and Jason Koon were heads-up in a pot with around 500,000 in the middle already. The action was picked up on the turn with the board reading A53A and Kornuth led out with a bet of 190,000 which Koon called.

The river brought the 8 and Kornuth used a time bank before announcing a bet of 600,000. Koon went deeper into the tank, using four time banks and over two minutes before finally sliding his cards to the muck.
