El secreto de la grandeza del poker es comenzar un canal de YouTube, y unos días más tarde ganas un brazalete. Al menos así fue como funcionó para Phil Galfond.
La leyenda del poker en línea ahora es un ganador de tres brazaletes después de derribar el Evento #60: $10.000 PLO8 Championship, se embolsó nada menos que US$567.788.
Sorprendentemente a pesar de ser una bestia en PLO, Galfond nunca ha jugado en línea PLO8 y su única experiencia en él es en juegos mixtos de cash:
“Honestamente, no creo que me haya ayudado mucho porque toda esa experiencia es de 200 ciegas grandes”, dijo Galfond. “Es un mundo completamente diferente al de estar apiñado en un torneo. Estaba averiguando a medida que avanzaba. Creo que definitivamente terminé el torneo como un mejor jugador de torneo PLO8 de lo que comencé”.
