Kornuth Collects Bounty

Herbie Teope

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Chance Kornuth raised to 8,000 in late position, and then a player to his immediate left three-bet all in for approximately 34,000.

The remaining players folded, and Kornuth made the call to put his opponent at risk.

Opponent: A♦K♣
Chance Kornuth: Q♥9♣

Kornuth was behind, but seized the lead when the dealer fanned 7♣Q♦J♣ on the flop. Kornuth kept the lead when 6♥ arrived on the turn and won the hand once 4♣ hit the river to send his opponent to the rail.

Kenney Takes It Down

Herbie Teope

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ebony Kenney was in the small blind and facing a 12,000 raise from a player in early position shortly after the break.

Kenney looked down at her cards and called, leading to a player in the big blind to call.

The dealer fanned 6♣Q♠J♠ on the flop, and all three players checked.

The 8♥ arrived, and Kenney promptly led out with 16,000, which forced out her two opponents to give Kennedy the pot.

A player opened to 12,000 and Nikita Kuznetcov three-bet on the button to 32,000. After some thinking, his opponent called.

The flop went J♥2♣Q♠ and Kuznetcov continued with a bet worth 12,000 after his opponent checked. The latter called and a 8♠ landed on the turn. This time Kuznetcov sent 33,000 in the middle and his opponent check-folded.

Maxime Taldir

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In the cutoff, Ren Lin went all in to apply pressure to the other players. Vladislav Donchev, with just under 100,000 chips, was the only one to call from the small blind.

Ren Lin: 4♥4♠
Vladislav Donchev: Q♠Q♥

Donchev didn't have to worry about the J♦9♥K♦8♦8♥ board, which didn't improve Lin's hand with a four. Donchev's stack is now around 170,000 chips.
