Chance Kornuth entered the Galfond Challenge as a massive underdog. One-third of the way through the contest and he’s now the heavy favorite.

The third Galfond Challenge isn’t receiving the attention from the poker community as the Polk-Negreanu match. Part of that is likely due to the competitors not being drama queens like Daniel Negreanu and Doug Polk. But this high-stakes pot-limit Omaha competition features two exciting and talented pros.

Phil Galfond won his first two heads-up challenges against online pros “VeniVidi1993” and “ActionFreak.” He then took on Chance Kornuth in his third match and entered as a 4-1 favorite. As such, he gave away 4-1 odds to Kornuth ($1 million to $250,000) on a side bet.
