In the 24th episode, Connor speaks with high-stakes pro and poker coach Phil Galfond about growing up in Maryland, getting into poker with Andrew Robl, playing with Phil Ivey and Doyle Brunson, building a slide between his two New York City penthouses and being married to fellow high-stakes poker player Farah Galfond, who was the first Life Outside Poker guest in March 2024.
Galfond also talked about specializing in Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO), Black Friday, losing $10 million running Run It Once Poker, poker coaching, how bots and real-time assistance (RTA) are impacting online poker, his new "Galfond" documentary, the recently launched BetRivers Poker and his epic comeback against "Venividi1993" in the Galfond Challenge.
