Chance Kornuth Eliminates Alex Foxen

Posted November 13, 2019 at 7:44 pm ET by Will O'Connor

Nick Petrangelo opened to 7,000 and Alex Foxen three-bet to 21,000 from the cutoff.

Chance Kornuth then four-bet to 45,000 from the button and after Petrangelo folded – Foxen shoved for just over 100,000~.

Kornuth called and he needed to hit to score the knockout – holding [AdTh] to [JxJx].

The [As5c2c] flop put Kornuth into the lead and after the [Ah] came on the turn, Foxen had two outs.

He didn’t hit either, as the [Kd] completed the board and confirmed his elimination.

Anthony Zinno opened and Alex Foxen three-bet shoved the button for 42,500.

Chance Kornuth got a count and then called – which forced Zinno out.

The short stack’s tournament life was saved on the [8h4c2s3hAd] runout and Kornuth dipped below starting.

Igor Kurganov Raises the River

Posted November 13, 2019 at 6:54 pm ET by Will O'Connor

After Nick Schulman opened, Igor Kurganov three-bet and Schulman called to see a board of on a board of [Jh9h2s]. He then check-called a bet of 11,000 before both players checked the [9c] on the turn.

The [6c] completed the board and Schulman led for 13,000, only to see Kurganov raise to 95,000.

Schulman used a majority of his 30-second time bank before he folded to the early Event #10 chip leader.
