Phil 'OMGClayAiken' Galfond Says "Nosebleeds Have Gotten A Lot Worse"

One year ago, Phil Galfond had a pretty decent summer cashing four times for $139,147 in the 2014 World Series of Poker. The biggest of those scores came early on when he finished sixth for $51,538 in Event #5 $10,000 2-7 Triple Draw. As it happens, Galfond waited for the same event to roll around before making his debut this year.

Last night, Event #7: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball Championship attracted 109 players and created a prize pool of $1,024,600. As of the Day 2 dinner break, Galfond is among 18 players competing for the $322,756 first-place prize.
