He had opened preflop to 13,000 before Arnaud Mattern made it 42,500 next to him, Kornuth pushed and Mattern called instantly, the former sighing at the quickness of the call. It was easy to see why:

Mattern:
The board came but then surprisingly the table stayed deathly silent when Kornuth caught his miracle on the turn. The came on the river and only then would Kornuth have an intake of breath.
