Phil Galfond Captures Second Bracelet; Denies Nick Schulman Third 2-7 Championship

If Phil Galfond doesn't like the way the online nosebleed cash games are going, maybe he has a future as a live tournament grinder.

The online legend, known for playing under monikers like “OMGClayAiken” and “Jman28,” took down Event #29: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball Championship on Monday evening. He won $224,383 for his efforts in topping the smallest field of the 2015 World Series of Poker thus far, 77 players. It's Galfond's second bracelet, with the other coming in a pot-limit Omaha event back in 2008.

“It means a lot,” Galfond said after the win.
