Korzinin First to Hit the Rail
Nivel 2
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
With three players seeing a board of J♠10♦K♥ and 1,300 in the middle, Alexander Norden checked from the small blind and Vladimir Korzinin bet 1,100 from the big blind. Tom Middleton raised to 3,500 from the button and Norden folded before Korzinin moved all in for around 6,000. Middleton called to put him at risk.
Vladimir Korzinin: J♣5♦ 
Tom Middleton: K♠Q♦
Middleton was ahead with top pair but the 5♣ turn gave Korzinin two pair to take the lead. The A♠ river improved Middleton to a Broadway straight and he took the pot while Korzinin became the first elimination of the day.
