Three-Time WSOP Bracelet winner Chance Kornuth has just entered the field here in Round Rock in the high roller.
Kornuth is arguably one of the most in-form tournament poker players in the world right now as he is fresh off of reaching the WPT Choctaw Championship final table, which will continue in late May. That plus a recent $522,000 score in Seminole Hard Rock High Roller for a third-place finish in April has made 2022 just a continuation of what was a very successful 2021 for Kornuth, which was highlighted by a 16th place finish in the WSOP Main Event.
