The first session of the newest Galfond Challenge likely wasn't too surprising to most who have followed the careers of Phil Galfond and Dan "Jungleman" Cates.
Thursday's four-hour pot-limit Omaha (PLO) battle on WSOP.com Thursday concluded with Galfond securing a $1,000 win, which is actually $10,000. The two online poker pros intended to play $100/$200 stakes but were limited to $10/$20 due to some deposit issues with the poker site. They're still technically playing the high-stakes version and the losing player after 7,500 hands are complete will owe the winner 10 times the deficit.
