The Galford/ Venividi challenge was legitimately one of my favourite moments from the Lockdown
100% and Farah’s reaction was just perfect
Agreed. It was sensational and I get goosebumps watching this playback. The commentary throughout was sensational
was runitonce an actual site that anybody could play poker on at that time??
@@MostlyLoveOfMusiche won a thousands Dollar. So he won, remember there was a side bet as well. So that's another 250k
Agreed, I remember watching the last session on the sofa, screaming with joy when he did it….
Man… where has 4 years gone?! Trip down memory lane. Got chills watching this.
Such a raw and authentic episode.. props to both Phil and Farah, takes a lot of character to go through that first challenge under public scrutiny and still support each other to get the job done 💪❤️
Thank you for being a part of it ❤️🤗
Got chills ? You need to get out more and smell some fresh air champ
@@MattSullivan-xf6ojCalm down, Terminator 🙄
Another outstanding entry into this series. Thanks for sharing your story, Phil!
Thank you!
Emotional roller coaster. Didn’t know a poker documentary would leave me with a tear in my eye. Even knowing the outcome.
You cried? Man you are a nancy
12:14 David Tuchman & 15:06 Joe Stapleton
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!
Both this and ep 2 were emotional for me to rewatch, even after being a part of the production process and seeing them a dozen times on the way to being complete!
The insane comeback in the Venividi challenge was BY FAR the most exciting Ive ever been with pokercontent. Epic stuff.
And this series is fantastic as well.
Did Venividi reveal who he was?
Snap called so fast on this video 🔥🔥
❤
I remember seeing it live. It was absolutely amazing.
Having the mental ability to climb back from 45 buyins, against all odds, really solidified Phil Galfond's status as a hall of famer and one of the GOATs of PLO
Man what a video. I remember taking a gap year to travel during the venividi series. I remember watching you win and clips of Farah crying. I remember myself crying and explaining to other travelers at my hostel how crazy that moment was. Congrats!
You can tell that this is a passion project, not content put out for financial sake or self aggrandizing 😊
💯, the authenticity is palpable
Was about to say the same thing.
Absolutely amazing content!
I agree. Would like to see Phil make a documentary for a young protege
Phils fast become one of my favourite Pros to watch and read and I think its because of this. Nothing he does ever looks like a performance-
Phil is the Ambassador poker needed, A great guy with not 1 bit of hate in his body.. Great dude..
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.
this has been one of the best poker contents put out in a very very long time, if not ever. Thanks Phil for sharing all of this.
Phil you’ve been an inspiration to me for 15 years in the industry. This series has been captivating, and it deserves to be seen by more than just the poker fraternity.
This series is awesome, your poker content really is unmatched
Thank you so much!
I wish I could like this video 10x. I’ve been away from the game for a few years and this video has renergized my love for PLO. Thank you Phil and to everyone involved in the production of this video. ❤
Man are you kidding me!! This series is absolutely unbelievably good!!! 👏👏👏 😳😳
EPIC CHILLS!!! WHAT A MOMENT BY ONE OF POKER'S MOUNT RUSHMORE STAPLES!!!!!
Absolutely great stuff coming out.. I still remember just turning 18 and veing stoked about poker watching all the high stakes full tilt games and these challenges.. The most respected player in my books by faaaar. Never stop man!
❤️
This series is so dope. Thank you for creating and sharing Phil!
Just getting to watch this. What an inspiration you are Phil. Always excited to see what you do next - success or failure your journey is always a motivator to be better.
This gave me more chills than any Hollywood blockbuster movie. Your content is absolutely amazing Phil.
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.
What a story! Could not have happened to a better guy. Well done, Phil😊
The whole being on lockdown to top off this moment in poker was incredibly epic. I’m getting goosebumps now just reliving the moment
Legend Phil. Well done. I didn’t actually hear about or watch the challenge because I was out the game at that time so this was a great way to watch it.
You’re a fkn legend Phil, been following you for over 15yrs now, you are the only GOAT
The break vs Veni was much needed, you recalibrated and adjusted your game plan. Definitely one of the GOATs in PLO, been waiting for your next Galfond challenge!
Great episode, had me in tears like “we” won! I remember this like yesterday. Ty PG
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!
Amazing! Brought tears to my eyes!! Well done!!
Best video yet in the series. Very enjoyable!
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!❤
Man i remember watching the end to the challenge, so sick
The production has been top notch
I love that myself and others can tell the authenticity of this and it isnt just for bragging, well done Phil you seem like a genuine person
Yes, Phil This was an epic poker moment for me too!! So many were so quick to say "it is over" Phil can't win! I had thoughts like that myself, but when you made the decision to keep playing, it was amazing!
As a poker fan and plo player it was one of the greatest times in poker
I didn't think I would be sobbing to a Phil Galfond video today. Hollywood material!
Unreal … a fairytale … that’s what people want … but played on his … the best poker site oops sorry out of business
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❤
This is just one of those legendary stories of the poker saga we all love and share together. Amazing!
This is just an incredibly well put together series. Love to see it.
Continues to be best poker channel online ❤
I remember hearing you in some video: "I didn't want iamsoso and berrisweet to apply for the match." you considered them better players. You are a humble and rational hero, just what humanity needs. You are sincere and honest.
And finally, I take this opportunity to say that I really enjoyed the galfond challenge and many of your TH-cam videos. thank you so much
This series has been absolutely amazing in every way. Your content is the best out there, and this series just backs that up. You have inspired me to become a better player and givin me the tools to do it. You have worked so hard for everything, and you deserve all the great things that come with that persistence. Thank you for all the great things you have given to the poker community. It needs more people like you.
The docuseries content you guys have put together on this channel is nothing short of brilliant. Looking forward to the next release.
What a great series so far.
Thank you 😊
The G.O.A.T! A living legend. Phil, having achieved so much, you remain so humble and down to earth. Bravo 👏brilliant series, the best I’ve seen in a long time. Hats off

biggest sicko of all time. goat! great series! thank you!
Goosebumps followed by tears in the eyes... what an exhilarating experience. Thank you for sharing it. WOW!!!!! This series is next level
This entire series has been fantastic! ❤
I remember this was the most exciting thing in poker for many years. And the way you did it was amazing and incredible! Loved watching the Galfond challenge!!
Phil and Farah are a great couple. Great watch. Thanks.
Absolutely love this series! I remember watching the last few matches against Venividi. What a crazy comeback. Congrats for everything you have contributed to the Poker world Phil!
Loving these stories. Glad to see Phil making content like this.
Phil Galfond is my hero! OMGClayAiken! What an absolute beast and a true class act!
top 3 online poker moments of all time. got chills again watching it now
Very fun challenge to follow along with - good memories covering that one
😢thanks for the memories
Man, I remember watching this match whenever possible and how crazy it was. Awesome seeing it portrayed in a doc format.
Just incredible….
Thank you for the amazing content and also the live streams recently.
on days like today when i am at my worst, Phil's stories give me hope, thanks.
Oh, man, what a beauty! Loved this so much, lots of respect for Phil Galfond! I'm from Brasil, Phil, and all I could say at the end of the episode was "VAMOOOOSSS"
Phil is an all time legend. I will never forget sweating these sessions!
Love this, so well done, cinematography, video, all of it...
I was not tuned in when this was going on. I did read about it recently in Elliots's A-game Poker. Watching this got me emotional. So happy for all involved.
it was such a great thing to "experience" watching it happen
Im not crying 😭... Man having that first battle is almost like a blessing in disguise.. he went through everything that is tough about poker right off the bat.. i guarantee it made phil so mentally sound for those other 4 matches .. not saying those were cake but just unconsciously making decisions edge easier
Great episode & series. I would suggest just one thing: During the episode, prominently flash the month and year (or simply the year), so then we can easily have a sense of the timeline.
Moved me. What a great comeback and story. Phil, these are gold; thanks!
I had a great time watching this challenge live. Enduring and coming back from such a downsing is unfathomable to me!
Incredible video guys. Made me tear up a bit at the end.
Great episode-it really shows that poker is just a beautiful game of perseverance and self improvement. Phil is one of my favorite players ever. I have learned so much from RIO that it's paid for itself many times over, highly recommend!
why am i tearing up on a Friday morning?!
😂
These are so well done phil appreciate you, never stop making content!!
I watched every season and was part of the chat, thrilling and nerve wrecking brilliance by Phil
phil, this series is amazing. thank you so much for investing time & money to tell this story.
You are great person Phil, you are the legend already! This episode made me emotional! You deserved to win that challenge vs veni vidi, like no one else on this planet.
WOOOOOO WHAT A EPISODE!
THE COMEBACK OF THE COMEBACK ⭐️
THEY ALL TALK BUT IT’S NOT OVER TILL IT’S OVER
What a series man ❤
somehow i had forgotten about this....what a story
I really love those battles I am a hard-core and like this kind of stuff that was super hyped that it was PLO
Phil we need more than a 4th one of these…!
Another banger episode. Loved watching it live and loved reliving it just now
These were spectacular. Thank you for doing them
Loving the series... really. This is must-watch stuff.
Loved watching the vinividi challenge and this just brought back all the emotions. Great series 👏👏💪
Texas mike lost 2.7 million on stream left the table .someone named Alan K asked "are you coming back tomorrow?".
Phil is the absolute man
Thank you for these Phil. So crazy to see Stapes at where he is now too in this. I go back to the PokerRoad days and 2JITH. Such good throwback memories this creating for me.
Loving the series phil, great story and you're a true ambassador for the little guys!
VeniVidi and the title is conquered. He came he saw he conquered. Phil this is beautiful
The fact that this is the third episode and conquered is the third word completing his opponents name is just poetic, especially with such a rich narrative behind it
Followed this closely but had completely forgotten it happened. Cool to hear the behind the scenes.
AMAZING series
Even knowing the outcome, I was on the tip of my seat for this edit. Kudos.
the Venividi challenge was epic, LFGPG!
The production quality of these videos is comically good
I’m not tearing up, I, uh, got something in my eye.
The story being told is fantastic, especially the cut of all of the team while the commentary is going. Epic.
Well done, sir. 🫡
That final day was one of the funnest live competitions I’ve ever watched.
