Galfond Getting Closer to the Elite Eight

Level 6 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

After being forced down to his last 160,000 lammer, Phil Galfond has roared back in his match against Ben Sulsky.

This time it was an all-in confrontation before the flop, with Galfond's {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs} holding up over Sulsky's {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} on a clean {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} runout.

With a group of poker fans standing directly behind him, Galfond heard a "go Phil!" from the rail, and he showed why he is such a respected figure for younger poker fans by turning to say "thanks guys, I really appreciate your support."
