Kornuth Set up and Straightened Out
Three ways on a flop of 4♦6♣5♦, Chance Kornuth checked from the small blind and the player in the big blind checked to Matthew Ledger, who bet 1,100 on the button. Kornuth then check-raised to 3,900, which got a fold from the big blind and a call from Ledger.
Ledger called a 5,800 bet from Kornuth on the 9♥ turn and Kornuth fired 13,000 into the middle after the 8♠ completed the board.
Ledger shoved after a bit of thought, which was enough to put Kornuth all in for 55,600 total.
"This might take a bit, ya'll," Kornuth said, clearly struggling with his decision.
After several minutes, Kornuth said he didn't think he could fold and put in the call while tabling 6♥6♠ for a flopped set of sixes.
Ledger showed Kornuth the bad news as he turned over 7♦7♣ for a rivered straight to eliminate Kornuth early on Day 1d.
"Good luck guys," Kornuth wished his tablemates as he exited the tournament area.
