Galfond Wins First WSOP Bracelet

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond earned his first World Series of Poker bracelet when he won at the $5k Pot Limit Omaha with rebuys event last June. He faced Hourani for the final hand of the tournament. Hourani called on Galfond’s bet making him all in. The flop at that time was A-Q-8 and Hourani is on top with his A-K-J-10 against Galfond’s A-7-6-5. The turn had a 6 giving Galfond a pair. The river didn’t improve Hourani, making him settle for second place. The win merited Galfond $817,781 in prize money.
