The first match of the Galfond Challenge is over. After two long months and 25,000 hands of €100/€200 pot-limit Omaha action, Phil Galfond emerged as the winner over "Venividi1993" by the barest of margins.
The wild ride saw Galfond go down more than €900,000 and then climb all the way back to take the lead, only to trail in the waning moments before snatching victory. He shared the graph of the match from his perspective on Twitter:
