We caught the action with the board reading AdJc6c7d and Chance Kornuth with a 10,600 bet out front against Eric Rivkin. It took a while for Rivkin to make up his mind before he tossed in his call one chip at a time.

They both checked the 3d river and Rivkin said “top top” and tabled AhKd. Kornuth half-shrugged before showing his out-flopped pocket kings.

“Man, why couldn’t I play bad and get it all-in preflop?” Rivkin asked.

Kornuth dropped a bit from his stack but is still sitting better than when he started the day.

Chance Kornuth – 84,500 (53 bb)
Eric Rivkin – 120,000 (75 bb)
