Straight for Kurtzman; Kornuth Pays Off Brewer

Level 4 : 300/600, 600 ante

Eric Kurtzman was in position in a heads-up pot and raised to 22,000 when his opponent bet 11,000 on a board reading {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades}. The opponent called.

Both players checked on the {8-Clubs} river and the opponent tabled a set with {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{x-}{x-}, but it was no good against the straight of Kurtzman with {8-Spades}{6-}{4-}{5-}.

A few tables over, Chance Kornuth got to the river in position against Chris Brewer on a board reading {3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades}.

Kornuth stared his opponent down as he made a decision and then called when Brewer put out a bet of 6,000. Brewer tabled {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for a flush and raked in the pot.
