Respect For Chance

Chance Kornuth, who continued his blazing hot year by winning the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final €10,300 Single Reentry High Roller for €351,108 earlier this week, is in the field today.

Kornuth has found massive scores on three continents so far in 2016, earning $192,780 with a seventh-place finish in the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $25,000 High Roller, winning the AU$25,000 Challenge at the Aussie Millions for AU$790,560 and taking second in the EPT Dublin €25,750 High Roller for €360,150.

Today, in just the first few hands, he appears to be getting the respect he's earned, picking up the blinds and antes with an under the gun raise to 300, getting a walk in the big blind, and forcing a fold when he came over the top of a 200-chip button raise, making it 750.
