After a few months of quiet during the summer while several online poker tournament series took over the headlines, the Galfond Challenge is back, with Phil Galfond against Chance Kornuth underway on WSOP.com.
The parameters this time around: 35,000 hands of pot-limit Omaha at $100/$200 with the Run It Once Poker founder laying a mighty price to his fellow coach: €1 million against Kornuth's €250,000.
After a very competitive first few sessions that saw the Chip Leader Coaching boss almost step-for-step with Galfond, the latter put on a dominating run over a few sessions to open up a six-figure lead.
