Will Kornuth begin to smash Galfond?
The last time we wrote about the HU match between Phil Galfond and Chance Kornuth was after 10 sessions. After a short break, Kornuth was able to win back $78k in the next session. But Phil's lead even after that was over $200k and it seemed big enough.
The next three sessions held from October 13 to 22 changed the course of the match:
| Session | Winner | Results | Hands |
| 11 (13 October) | Chance Kornuth | $84,000 | 540 |
| 12 (20 October) | Chance Kornuth | $150,000 | 549 |
| 13 (22 October) | Chance Kornuth | $157,000 | 500 |
| Total | Chance Kornuth | $190,000 | 6,850 |
Chance Kornuth won three sessions in a row for the first time and won $157,000 in one day. After 6,850 hands, he is ahead by $190,000.
However, Kornuth is still far from the record set by "ActionFreak," who was able to win €264,044 in one day and 721 hands.
On social networks, Chance remains laconic. The poker coach simply called the last session "another good day":
