Phil Galfond getting smashed by PLO crusher

As discussed several times before, the owner of Run It Once Poker, Phil Galfond issued a high-stakes challenge to the poker world with a clear intention to promote his poker room.

Galfond announced he would take on almost any challengers and would even lay a bet on the side. The first player to take on the opportunity was online PLO crusher, 'Venividi1993'.

Even though many thought Galfond is an underdog against a top-notch PLO specialist, Phil was pretty confident going into the first match. However, things haven't been turning out for him so far, he's down over €550,000 after only 6,500 hands. The challenge lasts for 25,000 hands.

Many people were worried about Galfond after being down about €400K, but he assured all of his fans he'll be fine and showed once again how classy and calm he is.

Of course, a challenge of this caliber raises the interest of most poker players and fans alike. Fellow high-stakes player and coach, Fernando "JNandez" Habegger created a video, where he analysis the sessions the two have played. (Fernando also accepted the challenge earlier, but later backed out)


You can even re-watch Galfond's session on the Twitch channel of Run It Once.
