Kornuth Eliminates Farrell with an Ace on the River
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action started with John Thornton’s open to 2,400 in the cutoff. Niall Farrell three-bet to 6,600 on the button, to which Chance Kornuth responded with a four-bet to 19,000 from the small blind. The big blind and Thornton both folded. Farrell then quickly pushed all in for 33,000 total, which Kornuth called.
Niall Farrell: 10♠10♣ 
Chance Kornuth: A♣3♣
The flop came 4♥Q♥2♣, prompting a few gasps by the players at the table seeing the uncomfortable draw to the wheel.
The dealer dealt a 6♠ on the turn, which meant Farrell only had to dodge a three or an ace once more. However, it wasn’t meant to be, the river brought the A♠, chipping-up Kornuth and ending Farrell’s tournament.
