Galfond Challenge: Galfond Wallops ActionFreak for €310K Win

After Phil Galfond defeated "Venividi1993" following a long, drawn-out heads-up pot-limit Omaha match that lasted the better part of three months, the Run It Once Poker boss has wasted no time getting his other challenges rolling.

Not only has he begun to play Bill Perkins in an on-and-off match revolving around Perkins' schedule, he commenced playing online PLO star "ActionFreak" on Monday.

Regarded by many pundits as Galfond's toughest challenge, ActionFreak agreed to play 15,000 hands of €150/€300 PLO, accepting a side bet of equal odds for €150,000.
