Galfond Beats Adams After Arbiters Called in to Rule on Galfond Challenge

Phil Galfond has won the latest Galfond Challenge after Brandon Adams conceded defeat down $16,500 with 236 hands remaining, but that doesn't tell the whole story after a dramatic final day.

Adams entered Day 4 down $50,100 with the pair playing $100/$200 heads-up pot-limit Omaha. This means both players are sitting with $20,000 in front of them.

However, the match came to a halt after Adams accused Galfond of running down the clock in order to see out the victory. The match ultimately resumed after poker players Isaac Haxton and Max Silver were called in as arbiters to decide on a set number of hands that were left to be played.
