Kornuth Survives on the River

Level 7 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Chance Kornuth bet 56,000 from the small blind on a flop of 849 and Robert Cowen called on the button.

The turn was the 7 and Kornuth checked to Cowen, who bet 100,000. Kornuth called for his last 96,000.

Cowen showed JJ104 for a straight, while Kornuth had a flush draw with A1065. The 9 river gave Kornuth his flush, and he earned the double-up.

UFC star Colby Covington was recently eliminated, while Firas Kashat also busted but fired another bullet.
