Phil Galfond Crushing on Full Tilt PokerPoker Pro Ends Massive Downswing |
|
One of the largest downswings of Phil “OMGClayAIken” Galfond’s career is finally over. Galfond was in the midst of a $2 million slide in late February, but since March he has completely turned things around, winning about $2.5 million on the virtual felt.
Even though Galfond has been on fire, the biggest winner over the past week was Scott “URnotINdanger2” Palmer. Palmer won $700,000 in the past week playing $200-$400 and $300-$600 pot-limit Omaha on Full Tilt Poker.
Palmer was the beneficiary of the largest pot in the past seven days. He flopped a dry top set on a board of Q
10
3 and managed to scoop the pot with three other players all in. Galfond was in the hand as well, and had a big draw with the K K 9 7
. But he was unable to come from behind to crack Palmer’s set of queens.
Despite losing the hand, Galfond won $600,000 in the first week of April playing a mix of the draw games and pot-limit Omaha. Galfond has been the biggest winner in high stakes deuce-to-seven triple draw this spring.
While Full Tilt Poker’s Double Guarantees Week helped create massive tournament prize pools recently, it seemed like an ancillary benefit was an increase in nosebleed action. On Sunday, amidst tripled multitable tournament prize pools, full ring $200-$400 pot-limit Omaha was running, which is a rarity these days. Though Phil Ivey was winning — which isn’t rare.
