Multiple high stakes poker tables went off on Full Tilt Poker Thursday night. Some of the games biggest players sat at big stakes games. Di Dang screen name ‘Urindanger’ , Phil Galfond screen name ‘OMGClayAiken’ , and ‘PixKim’ were joined by others at the big time tables. These were the first games seen on Full Tilt that heavily featured the new feature of running pots twice. When all the money gets in the pot, it can be run twice. Players have this option, and it was clearly seen in these games. Our very first hand showed a pot run twice, where Phil Galfond took a total bot worth over $30k taking this pot from Dang.

Galfond scooped another big pot here, after flopping a set of fours.

Di ‘Urindanger’ Dang got some money back in this hand, hitting a flush on both times the hand was run.

It didn’t take long for Galfond to get it back, scooping this pot.

The battle for Cap Limit Omaha continued between Dang and Galfond when the two capped another pot here. Dang got the better of this hand.

Dang took on another opponent in this hand, scooping a pot worht over $32,000 from ‘SxMxF.’

Galfond and ‘SxMxF’ played a heads up table, and scooped this big pot.

Dang got more ahead when he took this big pot from ‘NEKOTYAN.’

Galfond used his ability to put the pressure on in this hand, making a raise to over $11,000 to take this pot.

Aces weren’t good enough for anything for Galfond in this hand, losing both runs.

On the night, Di Dang was the obvious winner, leaving the tables with over $100,000 in profit. After the last hand of heads up play, Phil Galfond’s winnings on the night were less, to around $40,000 from various opponents, mainly ‘SxMxF.’
