Chance Kornuth

In the last hand of the level, Isaac Haxton limped the small blind only to see Chance Kornuth exercise his option with a raise to 15,000. Haxton responded with a three-bet to 70,000 and Kornuth thought for a bit before moving all in for 278,000. Haxton wasted little time in making the call.

Kornuth: 2h2d
Haxton: 9c9h

Haxton was way out in front and stayed there on both the 3sKs10d flop and 10s turn. That is when the dealer drove a dagger through his heart by putting the 2c on the river.

“Yes,” Kornuth let slip as he began to break down his stack. When all was said and done, Haxton was left with 20,000, which disappeared a couple of hands later.

Chance Kornuth – 560,000 (140 bb)
Isaac Haxton – Eliminated
