Another victory in the books for Phil Galfond, this one coming with far less drama than the first.
After besting one online pot-limit Omaha star in "Venividi1993" in a match that came down to the wire, Galfond leaped what many considered his toughest hurdle, Greek pro Ioannis "ActionFreak" Kontonatsios. The Run It Once founder carried a sizable lead of €237K into the final day of play with less than 1,000 hands remaining, so a €123K loss did nothing but eat into his final profits a bit.
