Dan Bilzerian Paid Chance Kornuth $10k for poker coaching and won $10,800,000!

Chance Kornuth has revealed how he coached Dan Bilzerian to a $10,800,000 heads-up win against Billionaire Alec Gores with the focus on a jamming range against a blind open to $100k with $1M stacks!

The lucky break for Kornuth came as Bilzerian was preparing to play billionaire Alec Gores, who he claims to have won $40-50 Million from over the years.

Kornuth already knew Bilzerian, who he says had “stacked me in a $400K pot at Bobby’s Room (his JJ held against my AK) in 2013 which is still the most that I’ve ever lost in one hand.”

Estimating his 3 hours of coaching EV was “~$1800 an hour”, Kornuth asked if there was anything specific that Bilzerian wanted him to cover.

The strat talk between the pair on how best to exploit Gores came to a conclusion: “We figured out that Dan could actually jam any two profitably when Gores opened to $100k dark based on his expectation that he would only call a jam with A8s+, 55+ and KQs.”

“It was also established that Dan shouldn’t overuse this strategy as Gores would catch on and would stop open raising $100K in the dark. Hopefully Gores wouldn’t wake up with a real holding right off the bat and call or Dan could be down a million bucks in one hand!”

A nervous Kornuth couldn’t fall asleep on the night of the game, Bilzerian playing Gores heads up at Gores’ 11 bedroom, 21 bathroom, $70 million dollar mansion.

“When the next text informed me he won $10.8 million, I immediately jumped out of bed and called him to have him tell me some hands! The one I remember is him telling me about 5betting pre with Aces to $1.5M and it coming AKJr. He ended up winning over $5M on that hand alone.”

Although ecstatic about Bilzerian’s massive win, Kornuth recalls a hint of regret…

Alec Gores, it seems, was unhappy when Dan Bilzerian told the world about his monster wins and challenged the Instagram King to a $100,000,000 heads-up battle. Should that ever take place, you can be sure who Kornuth will be rooting for.
