Chance Kornuth set a goal for himself this year to win a World Poker Tour (WPT) title. The accomplished poker pro has now done so as he topped a 787-entry field to take down the WPT Choctaw Main Event on Thursday, May 26 to earn a spot on the WPT Champion trophy and pocket $486,600.
Kornuth, who now has $10.4 million in tournament earnings, per The Hendon Mob, accomplished his goal after battling through a powerhouse final table that included Kristen Foxen, Ray Qartomy and James Mackey, who was looking to win his second WPT Choctaw title after taking down the 2016 Main Event for $666,758.
