Galfond Challenge: 'Venividi1993' Retakes Lead as Challenge Nears End

While the tide has been turning for going on a month now as Phil Galfond worked his way back from a deficit north of €900,000 in his €100/€200 pot-limit Omaha match with "Venividi1993", a landmark moment occurred on Monday as Galfond ended the day with the overall lead for the first time.

A very swingy session saw Galfond surge up as much as €150,000 on the day only for Venividi to take six figures of that back. Ultimately, though, Galfond finished with another push for his sixth win of at least €100,000 in the past 11 sessions.
