Chance Kornuth

The prize pool doubled the guarantee over the first hour and now we’re just going to sit back and wait to see how big it gets. The triple is locked up and quads aren’t out of the question.

Like yesterday, we are seeing a lot of top players getting into the game early and not waiting for the max late reg slip. Chance Kornuth is back with us and something is different from when we saw him yesterday in the $1,100.

Overnight, Global Poker Index put him as the #1 ranked player in the world on the heels of two wins and a deep run during the Aria Stairway to Millions series. Kornuth closed out 2021 with his third WSOP bracelet and a 16th place finish out of 6,650 in the WSOP Main Event.
