Ivey Gives Galfond Thoughtful $20K Christmas Gift

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

When Phil Ivey met up with Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond on Full Tilt Poker table Canosa, it looked to be quite an exciting head-up battle. The game was $100/$200 NL Hold’em and there was fireworks right from the start. In fact, the match only lasted one hand as Ivey put in his $20K stack on the turn drawing dead. It was a very thoughtful on Ivey’s behalf to give Galfond $20,000 for Christmas.
