Galfond Tears Apart “present” In $186K NL Hold’em Beating

Playing heads-up $300/$600 No-Limit Hold’em on Full Tilt Poker tables Halbert and Super, the player known as “present” was walking a thin line as he dared to faced off high stakes young gun Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond. After being down almost $50K on table Halbert, he decided to go at him in a second game and they would two-table for another 35 minutes. It would take a $145K+ final pot for “present” to eventually give up. When the punishment was finally over, “Galfond” had amassed over $186K in winnings against his opponent.
