Brandon Adams Quits Galfond Challenge Early After Losing $300k
Brandon Adams has called an early end to his Galfond Challenge match. The American dropped close to $300k over the first four sessions and, unexpectedly, decided to call a halt to proceedings.
After only 2,900 hands, it was game over with Adams preferring to hand over $100k rather than risk losing millions if the match continued. The match conditions dictated 10,000 hands of heads-up PLO were to be played at stakes of $100/$200 with a sidebet of $400k:$100k in play with Galfond risking the higher sum.
Adams also lost $16,500 in a live PLO game at Resorts World in Las Vegas this month. Dan “Jungleman” Cates is known for his heads-up PLO skills and has been at the top since the early days. VeniVidi had a damn good go, where Galfond clinched victory right at the death after being almost €1 million in the hole during the early going.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
