Brett Shaffer was in the hijack and raised to 2,500. Ahmed Nimer was on the button and three-bet to 9,000. Chance Kornuth was in the small blind and took a minute or two before four-betting to 22,000. Shaffer immediately folded and Nimer quickly shoved in his remaining chips which appeared to be around 38,000. Kornuth called immediately and the hands were tabled.

Chance Kornuth: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Ahmed Nimer: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The flop was {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Nimer was looking good. the turn was the {7-Spades} blocking even more of Kornuth's outs but the river was the {q-Hearts} giving Kornuth Broadway and eliminating Nimer.

Kornuth explained after, "It's the show one card game's fault! If he had never shown the four before I wouldn't have thought he was raising light and I would have just folded my hand." The table got a good laugh out of the scenario and Kornuth is still running pure at the start of Day 2.
