Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Chance Kornuth raised to 55,000 from early position and Jeremy Becker shoved all in for 740,000 from middle position.
The action folded back to Kornuth and he instantly put in the call with the covering stack.
Jeremy Becker: 9♣9♥
Chance Kornuth: A♠K♥
Becker had a slight lead with his pair of nines, and increased it when he flopped an open-ended straight draw on 10♠8♣7♥. The turn of J♥ made him his straight and Kornuth did not rebink Broadway when the J♠ paired the board on the river.
Becker doubled up and Kornuth finally forfeited some chips on Day 5.
