Galfond Takes $66K Loss In Heads-Up Pot-Limit Omaha Play

High stakes poker professional Phil “OMGClayaiken” Galfond did not have a good day in the heads-up Pot-Limit Omaha games. His first loss came against Gus Hansen over on Full Tilt Poker table Oboe where Galfond dropped over $25K in 40 hands. Around three hours later, Galfond would make another $35K donation to “PostFlopAction” on table Pimp. The misery finally ended with a small $5K+ loss after 15 minutes back on table Oboe against “slaktarn”. The 145 heads-up hands he played would result in a total $66K+ loss for the day.
