Szecsi Puts Cornell in the Blender

Norbert Szecsi opened to 400,000 from the button and Tyler Cornell defended his big blind.

The flop came J♣Q♣J♥ and Cornell check-called a 275,000 continuation bet from Szecsi.

Cornell checked again on the 4♠ turn and Szecsi fired a second barrel for 550,000. Cornell check-raised to 1,500,000 and Szecsi made the call.

Cornell bet 2,200,000 on the 5♣ river, committing more than two thirds of his stack. Szecsi raised to 5,830,000, enough to put Cornell all in. Cornell went deep into the tank, clearly put on a difficult decision.

After four minutes and 11 seconds of consideration, Cornell folded J♦10♣ for trips and was left short-stacked while Szecsi, who had A♣4♣ for the ace-high flush, extended his chip lead over the rest of the field.
