Galfond Becomes Third Player to Win $10 Million on FTP (Full Tilt Poker)
we turn our attention to the legendary Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond, who became just the third person — the others are Phil Ivey and Patrik Antonius — to surpass $10 million in winnings on FTP dating back to 2007.
Galfond won $632,133 in 3,569 hands over 32 sessions this week, which was slightly behind Ben “Bttech86” Tollerene (+$662,276 in 44 sessions/5,045 hands) and Kyle “cottonseed1” Hendon (+$638,698 in 9 sessions/878 hands). Other big winners included Tom “durrrr” Dwan (+$325,296 in 35 sessions/2,155 hands) and Niki Jedlicka (+$275,466 in 57 sessions/3,618 hands) on Full Tilt Poker, and Vladimir “GVOZDIKA55” Shchemelev (+$294,824 in 29 sessions/6,919) on PokerStars.
On the flip side, the year’s biggest winner, Alexander “PostFlopAction” Kostritsyn, had a rare bad week, dropping $585,240 in 4,243 hands over 83 sessions — enough to make him the week’s biggest loser. Not too far behind was “Samrostan” (-$541,201 in 45 sessions/4,634 hands) on FTP and “MIKMIC888” (-$425,060 in 8 sessions/4,150 hands) on PokerStars.
