Run of play in this challenge has turned completely. After 22k hands it is now Galfond who is up roughly $80k. Still 3k hands to play till the end tho. And in a swingy game like PLO it is far from over.

Less than 2k hands of the initial 25k hands to be played . After this -$900.000 downswing , he came back and now Galfond has a slight head start . Of course in the rest 2k hands surprises might happen , PLO is a game with many ups and downs , upswings and downswings . That's why I don't like it much , lol . Venividi has to try his best A game now if he wants to end this challenge successfully , in few hands this challenge is over !!!

Now it's Bill Perkins time , lol
If Galfond won't eliminate him , won't finish this challenge against him , in the first 5k hands , why not less , I will start thinking some not very good thing about this challenge Perkins is not a pro , more like a fun player , isn't he ?? I don;'t know exacly why he playes poker , for fun ?? to promote the game ?? extra money to his wealth I don't believe is the case ... Good luck Galfond with him , not that you will need it much LOL . I can't wait for the duel with Jungleman to start , that will be interesting to me I believe it's one more after Perkins , then it's jungleman
