Hand #48: Andras Koroknai Doubles Through Tri Huynh

Tri Huynh raises under the gun to 250,000, Raymond Dolan calls from the button, and Andras Koroknai thinks for a while before he moves all in from the small blind. Huynh immediately calls, and Dolan folds. 

Koroknai shows [AdJs], and he’ll need to improve to stay alive against Huynh’s [Kckh]. 

There is an ace in the window as the flop comes [AsKs10h], so Koroknai’s friends cheer for a few seconds until everyone sees the king, and then Huynh’s friends begin cheering as he has the lead with a set of kings. Koroknai does have a gutshot straight draw. 

The turn card is — the [Qd]! The cheering reverses again, as Koroknai takes the lead with an ace-high straight. Now Huynh needs the board to pair to win the opt with a full house, or a jack on the board to chop the pot. 

The river card is the [3s], and Andras Koroknai wins the pot with an ace-high straight to double up in chips.
