Chance Kornuth Eliminated in 18th Place (£21,000)

From the cutoff seat, Chance Kornuth opened to 62,000, and Kyle Bowker three-bet to 150,000 from the button. When it came back to Kornuth, he took his pause to consider his options. The decision was made; Kornuth announced an all-in four-bet for about 1.8 million, and Bowker instantly called with the covering stack (after doubling through Kornuth once already).

Showdown
Bowker: {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}
Kornuth: {J-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} (gulp!)

There was no sweat at all as the board ran friendly for Bowker: {6-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {7-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} . With that, our start-of-day chip leader has become the 18th place finisher at EPT London. He'll take home the £21,000 prize, though that looks as if it's little consolation for the man who was the monster stack for nearly a full day.
