After a horrible losing streak against online killer 'VeniVidi', Phil decided to take some time off and even considered throwing the towel in.
Galfond's been losing at a -45bb/100 rate during the challenge which makes his current losses at -€900,240. If he continues to lose at this rate his looking at a -€2.26 million loss.
Taking 3 weeks off is probably not enough to solve heads-up PLO, but rumor has it that Phil was grinding the high-stakes games on GGPoker [4]. He's now back and continues the play against the mysterious online wizard at 5 pm CET, Wednesday.
