Galfond Versus Kornuth
Initial stage
The Galfond Challenge match began rather inauspiciously for challenger Chance Kornuth of Chip Leader Coaching.
He was down more than 14 buy-ins, or $280,000, after the first nine days of play.
Chance had to catch up.
Kornuth catches up
He put together back-to-back solid wins after being beaten into such a hole he had to take a break to reload his account. A massive six-figure win on the third day after that gave him the overall lead, and a further one the following day put him well out in front, a shocking development after Galfond’s early domination.
Galfond fires back
Galfond erupted from that point on. From Dec. 9 through Jan. 23, he turned an even match into a lop-sided affair with 11 wins in 15 sessions, including four of the six-figure flavor. That left Kornuth hopelessly buried, and he decided to face reality after starting a Saturday session in an immediate $46K hole.
