Kornuth Wins With Three Pair
Level 17
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Chance Kornuth raised to 200,000 from the cutoff. Mike Leah three-bet to 700,000 from the button. Kormuth called and they headed to the flop.
Kornuth check-called a bet of 525,000 on the 4♦9♦Q♥ flop.
Both players checked the 10♣ turn to see the Q♣ hit the river. The action checked through again and Kornuth announced "three pair" to which Leah responded with "me too". Kornuth turned over 10♥9♥ for queens and tens, which won him the pot as Leah mucked, much to the amusement of the table.
