Kornuth Gets Rivered in a Big One to Keep Unlu in the Game
Niveau 9
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Chance Kornuth opened 40,000 under the gun, Mathew Frankland on the left, Sinan Unlu in the hijack and Audrius Stakelis in the big blind all made the call.
The dealer spread a flop of J♣9♣8♥, and the action was checked to Unlu who fired 125,000 across the line. Only Kornuth made the call.
The 3♥ fell on the turn, Kornuth checked and Unlu continued for 420,000. Kornuth wasted little time sliding a stack across the line to put Unlu to the test for his entire stack worth 605,000. Unlu quickly called and both hands were tabled.
Sinan Unlu: 8♣8♠ 
Chance Kornuth: Q♥10♥
Kornuth not only flopped the nut straight, but also turned a flush draw to go along with it but the 3♦ river paired the board to give Unlu a full house.
