Dimitri Vorbe raised from the cutoff to 250,000, Chance Kornuth reraised from the button to 750,000, and Vorbe four-bet it to 1,850,000.

Kornuth tanked for a while before he folded, and Vorbe said, “Good fold.”

Kornuth looked at him and said, “Prove it.”

Vorbe said, “You’ve never shown your cards once.”

Kornuth said, “I’ve never had the winner.”

Vorbe showed KsKh as he took the pot, and Kornuth nodded.

Dimitri Vorbe  –  8,700,000  (87 bb)
Chance Kornuth  –  4,900,000  (49 bb)
