Chance Kornuth opened to 4,000 in early position, Aaron Mermelstein called in the small blind, and Ian O’Hara defended his big blind to create three-way action.

The flop was QdTd4d. It checked to Kornuth, who continued for 6,500, and only O’Hara called. The turn was the Ks. O’Hara checked again, and Kornuth asked how much he was playing before betting 18,000. O’Hara called, leaving about 50,000 behind. The river was the Ah, and both players checked.

O’Hara showed QxTx for queens up, and Kornuth tabled Jd9s, winning the pot with a Broadway straight.

Chance Kornuth – 215,000
Ian O’Hara – 49,000
