Galfond Challenge - Phil cuts the deficit, Chance Kornuth still $231,000 up

Phil is giving Chance massive odds of 4 to 1 putting $1,000,000 in the side bet on the line against only $250,000 from Chance.

However, so far it doesn’t look great for Phil as he was down $289.000 before the start of Day 15.

Galfond won $90,000 on Tuesday

There is still a lot of time left for Galfond to cut the deficit, as only 7,400 hands were played after Day 13. And this is what Phil did on Day 14 winning a whopping $90,000, which equals 4.5 buy-ins cutting Chance’s lead down to only $199K.

Chance Kornuth won back $32,000 last night increasing his lead to $231,000

Chance Kornuth, who proves to be a tough opponent for Phil, then fought back last night and booked a $33,000 profit after an epic battle.

In total, Chance is now up $231,000 overall, but with only 8,500 of 35,000 hands played, it’s still way too early to jump to conclusions and it is still anybody’s game.

The couple now takes a break until Tuesday, November 2nd. Check back frequently at VIP-Grinders.com as we will keep you updated on the Galfond Challenge vs. Chance Kornuth.
