Kornuth Eliminates Farrell with an Ace on the River
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action started with John Thornton��s open to 2,400 in the cutoff. Niall Farrell three-bet to 6,600 on the button, to which Chance Kornuth responded with a four-bet to 19,000 from the small blind. The big blind and Thornton both folded. Farrell then quickly pushed all in for 33,000 total, which Kornuth called.
Niall Farrell: 10?10? 
Chance Kornuth: A?3?
The flop came 4?Q?2?, prompting a few gasps by the players at the table seeing the uncomfortable draw to the wheel.
The dealer dealt a 6? on the turn, which meant Farrell only had to dodge a three or an ace once more. However, it wasn��t meant to be, the river brought the A?, chipping-up Kornuth and ending Farrell��s tournament.
