The Kornuth-Berko Rivalry Continues
Chance Kornuth and Scott Berko have been at the same table for the entire day, and their antics have had other players laughing throughout. Both players asked for a story to be shared, and Berko gave the details.
According to Berko, he raised preflop from early position. Kornuth, in the cutoff, confirmed it was Berko raising. "Is it you that's opening? If so, I call," said Kornuth to Berko before coming along.
The flop came 9♥5♥4♠, and Berko checked. Kornuth bet 12,000, to which Berko called.
The turn came 8♥, and Berko checked once more. Kornuth led out for 33,000, which Berko also called.
The river brought the 5x as well as one final check from Berko. Kornuth bet 93,000. Berko made the call. Kornuth showed J♥J♠, which was no good against the K♥K♠ of Berko.
"He told me he was betting for value," said Berko with a smile on his face.
