Phil Galfond Talks Comeback Against 'VeniVidi1993' & Launching a New US Poker Site

Life Outside Poker is a podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.

In the 24th episode, Connor speaks with high-stakes pro and poker coach Phil Galfond about growing up in Maryland, getting into poker with Andrew Robl, playing with Phil Ivey and Doyle Brunson, building a slide between his two New York City penthouses and being married to fellow high-stakes poker player Farah Galfond, who was the first Life Outside Poker guest in March 2024.

Galfond also talked about specializing in Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO), Black Friday, losing $10 million running Run It Once Poker, poker coaching, how bots and real-time assistance (RTA) are impacting online poker, his new "Galfond" documentary, the recently launched BetRivers Poker and his epic comeback against "Venividi1993" in the Galfond Challenge.

This interview was filmed in Galfond's home in Las Vegas in December 2024.

The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Phil Galfond by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.
