  • The first Galfond Challenge shook the poker world in 2020, with Phil Galfond's stock plummeting at the hands of 'VeniVidi1993.' What went on behind the scenes during the million-dollar downswing?
    🎁 Phil's free e-book & weekly poker strategy: ➡️ galfond.link/s...
    Through interviews with family, friends, and Phil himself, this poker documentary series provides clarity on a variety of questions, such as how Phil Galfond started playing poker professionally, the origin of the companies Run it Once Poker and Run it Once Training, where the Galfond Challenge came from as well as how it affected him personally, and even how Phil and Farah Galfond met.
    In weekly episodes, people who know Phil personally like Andrew Robl, Jason Koon, Brian Rast, Matt Berkey, Nick Schulman, Maria Ho, Elliot Roe, Farah Galfond, David Tuchman, Joe Stapleton, Dan Quinn, Jason Senti, Joni Jouhkimainen, and Landon Tice share insights and highlights from their time spent with and around Phil through the years..
    Whether it’s the reality of playing poker at the highest level against the best poker players in the world, operating a poker training / poker coaching site and an online poker site, or facing tough personal loss and finding the ability to triumph, this documentary aims to highlight the emotional rollercoaster you may be faced within a non-traditional career path like playing professional poker.
    In every poker related video on this channel, Phil Galfond is here to teach you how to think like a professional poker player.
    It doesn’t matter whether you’re a new or beginner poker player (or even a full time poker coach!)
    Do you need the best Texas Hold ‘em poker strategy and top tier Pot Limit Omaha tips?
    Do you have a high stakes poker story question that you’d like to hear from the POV of a poker professional who was THERE?
    Leave a comment and your question might end up in the next one of Phil’s quick poker tips videos or inspiring one of his high stakes poker story clips!

    These two moments are incredibly emotional to me.
    After Phil being down so much and first recovering and crossing the threshold to him winning the last crucial pot. Freaking incredible!

    This is some of the very best poker content available today. Watching hands, learning strategy, seeing big pots is nice but this......this is cinema quality entertainment. The fact that you are putting so much of yourself, and you wife, out for public consumption is without equal. Your wife is an absolute saint. I can't wait for the next episode.
    Well done Sir, well done.

    Following the first Challenge Match made me realize (again) that I was missing the importance of playing good poker. Normal people rarely make epic comebacks. They were the ones who invented the term "cut your losses". Your comeback was a moneymaker-type moment to real poker players including me....kudos.

    I remember watching this challenge, I was getting into PLO and was really exciting, but now that I know the whole story is just another level, the poker community, how the game is not just about the money , is about the experience you get, how to manage your emotions, the determination you need and get all that together to prove what you are made of.
    Thanks Phil! OMGCLAYAIKEN! 😄🤩🤯 Regards from MEXICO!

    I'm starting to love poker more on more. And one of the reasons is that poker can be such a good teacher. It makes you humble and it puts you back to work, after every victory that your starting to have. You can't win it in the long run if you don't take the pain, if you don't overcome the challenges, if you don't keep yourself disciplined, pacient and gratefull for what your life blessed you with until the present moment.
    Phil, thanks for sharing this amazing experience. I'm going through a downswing right now, but I know deep inside that I'll overcome it and comeback stronger and wiser. And your story fueled up my convinction that pain is only temporary and we all should take it, deal with it and win, in every aspect of our life!❤

    The fact you busted the main so early this year even though you had a good stack gives me hope that I can actually dominate in the main someday. If someone great like you busts early, maybe I just ran bad and with continued study I will run better and dominate eventually.

    What a story, I remember following the match closely. Such an epic comeback.
    I feel like the video could've been a bit better by explaining the sidebet/consequences of losing 1 dollar versus winning 1 dollar. Especially for people that didnt follow the match closely. And maybe timeline wise how this was related to previous episode.
    Still loved it ofcourse❤
