After taking a break for Thanksgiving, the Galfond Challenge is back in action. On Wednesday, Phil Galfond closed out yet another session with a win. But, once again, it was only by a small amount.

Galfond left for the break on quite a heater. He had gone from down $340,000 to trailing by just $92,000, less than five buy-ins. Doing so took him just over a week, quite an impressive run.

Galfond’s opponent, Chance Kornuth, has been quite a surprise during this, the third installment of the Galfond Challenge. But, perhaps, the poker community shouldn’t be all that surprised he’s been so competitive against one of the top pot-limit Omaha players of all-time. Kornuth himself is an accomplished PLO player, and one of the best overall poker players in the game today.
