Chance Kornuth

The player under the gun opened to 2,700, and Chance Kornuth three-bet to 9,400 in the cutoff. From the button, Glen Cressman four-bet shoved for 31,000 total, and both the initial raiser and Kornuth called.

The flop was 9d8h6d, and the under-the-gun player bet what looked like 39,000. Kornuth moved all in for about 75,000 effective, and his opponent called all in for that amount to put himself at risk, as well.

UTG: KdKc
Kornuth: AsAc
Cressman: Ad5d

The 7s on the turn brought about the possibility of a three-way chop, but the river decided a clear winner. The 2d completed the board, giving Cressman a flush and a triple-up.

Kornuth won the larger side pot, earning a reasonable profit on the exchange. He moved into the apparent overall chip lead for the Championship during the final level of Day 1B.

Chance Kornuth – 345,000 (216 bb)
Glen Creessman – 97,000 (61 bb)
