Kornuth Pays Off Vuilleumier in Crucial Pot
Niveau 23
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Alexandre Vuilleumier raised to 500,000 from the button with Q♦6♠, and Chance Kornuth defended the big blind with 10♠5♣.
On the Q♠7♣5♦ flop, Kornuth check-raised to 925,000 after Vuilleumier continued for 325,000. The latter called.
The 2♠ turn, Kornuth took his foot off the gas pedal and checked. Vuilleumier bet 1,000,000 and was called.
Vuilleumier improved to two pair on the 6♦ river to seal the checkmark. Kornuth checked and Vuilleumier bet 4,350,000, which sent Kornuth into the tank. After using some time bank cards, Kornuth called and saw the bad news.
Vuilleumier now has a commanding chip lead, with Kornuth down to his last 16 big blinds.
