Event 16: Kevin MacPhee Doubles Through Chance Kornuth

$1,100 No Limit Hold’em
Level 22: 6,000/12,000 with a 2,000 ante
Players Remaining: 10 of 260

Kevin MacPhee opened to 26,000 in middle position, and Chance Kornuth three-bet to 40,000 in the cutoff. MacPhee called.

Both players checked through the 7h6d3h flop, and the turn was the Ah. MacPhee bet 58,000, and Kornuth called. The river was the Qs, and MacPhee moved all in for 127,000.

“Give me a sec, guys,” Kornuth apologized for the impending delay. “I have, like, the best hand I can have,” he continued. “But I don’t think you’re bluffing.” After a couple minutes, he called to put MacPhee at risk.

MacPhee wasn’t bluffing; he showed KhJh to win the pot and double up with the nuts. Someone at the table asked to see Kornuth’s hand since MacPhee had been all in, so the dealer revealed Kornuth’s 6s7s.

Kevin MacPhee – 488,000 (41 bb)
Chance Kornuth – 750,000 (63 bb)
