Kornuth Gets Respect

Dan O'Hair

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Chance Kornuth was four ways on a 5♣7♦8♦ flop. The players in the big blind, middle position, and hijack checked to Kornuth on the button, who bet 1,600. Only the hijack called.

Kornuth was checked to again on the 2♠ turn and he fired 5,000 into the middle. His opponent quickly folded and Kornuth took down the pot.

The three-time bracelet winner already has over $3 million in cashes from this year's World Series of Poker alone, including a second-place finish in Event #2: $25,000 High Roller (Six Handed) and will be looking to make a deep run in the Main Event.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

"PokerNews, we are straddling here!" said Chris Da-Silva while walking by his table.

When he said that, it was his turn to straddle, so he bet blind 400 from under the gun. A player in middle position three-bet to 1,200, and everybody folded to Da-Silva, who called.

On the flop 2♠2♥Q♣, the middle position player bet 1,000, and Da-Silva check-called. Then on the turn 7♦, both players checked.

The river 5♠ was checked again by Da-Silva. However, the player in middle position seemed unsure of his decision. He finally checked back and showed K♠K♣. Surprised, Da-Silva folded while laughing.
