CSOP: 6th & 7th place – Kornuth, Slater

$300 CSOP Big Stack Turbo NLH (Re-Entry)
Level 22: 8K/16K/ 2K ante

After a series of lost pots, former chip leader Chance Kornuth dwindles his stack down significantly. Nick Yunis has both Kornuth and 940 AM WINZ on-air personality Andy Slater all-in. The board rolls out 3d2c10sKc5d, with Kornuth making a pair of Kings with Kd9h. However, Yunis makes 2 pair with his 10d3h to bust both Kornuth and Slater (who held Js9c) in the same hand. Kornuth and Slater get 6th ($809) and 7th place ($647), respectively.

Krupa: 7s2d

Level 7: 250/500/ 50 ante

On a board showing J 10 2 8 6 we see Jared Jaffee scooping in a big pot with 7d7c, calling the all-in of both Matt Affleck and Nate Morris (from Boyz II Men), who missed the board with A 3. Both Affleck and Morris are knocked out of the event.

Morris says “I can’t believe you called that, you’re not supposed to call that” to Jaffee. Jaffee fires back “Hey, it’s for charity..it’s all about the charity”. Morris graciously says “Nice hand” and says that he will rebuy into the tournament at least one more time.

90 entries so far in today’s charity event.
