Galfond drops 200K to Phil Ivey

Phil Ivey and Phil “OMGclayaiken” Galfond find themselves in yet another heads up battle on FTP, at Halbert 300/600 NL Hold em. From the very beginning, Ivey’s stack took an uphill swing and never looked back down. Galfond, seeming unable to read a majority of Ivey’s plays, lost a big majority of the pots played to showdown, around 80%. After eating away at his opponent’s stack with many successful, value-bets and bluff-calls, Ivey manages to profit $200,000 by the time Phil Galfond calls it quits and gets away.
