Galfond Challenge: 'ActionFreak' Closes Gap With Crushing Victory
'ActionFreak' took it to Phil Galfond in a big way on May 11.After two weeks of heads-up €150/€300 pot-limit Omaha action, Phil Galfond opened up a sizable lead on online grinder "ActionFreak." The two players got more than 5,700 of a planned 15,000 hands in, with Galfond winning more than €400,000.
True to his reputation, though — many considered him Galfond's toughest opponent and Galfond himself didn't extend any odds on the €150K side bet — ActionFreak roared back with a crushing win on the ninth day of play. He tattooed Galfond for €256,000 to close the gap under €180K with about 40% of the hands played.
