Chorny Chips Up

Ryan Young opened the action with a raise from middle position to 750 and picked up four callers including Glen Chorny in the cutoff.

The flop was {2-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{A-Clubs} and the action checked around cautiously. The turn was a repeat {Q-Spades} and again action checked to Chorny who took a stab at the pot with a 2,400-chip bet. The table folded around and Chorny picks up a nice orphaned pot.

Chorny is in an elite group of players to have won more than $2 million in a live event, with his victory in the EPT grand final in 2007 where Chorny collected Euros worth over $2.6 million.

Since that time Chorny has struggled to replicate that success and surprisingly only has one WSOP cash to his credit. He's looking for the Main Event to be WSOP cash #2.
