Phil Galfond Faces Challenges in Scheduling Galfond Challenge Match

Phil Galfond has given an update on the Galfond Challenge match against Dan 'Jungleman' Cates, stating that due to busy schedules, it has been impossible for the pair to get together and finish what they started.

Phil Galfond suggested starting and playing the match in small chunks, even if it becomes tedious to keep stopping and starting. He mentioned, “I feel like I need to start maybe pushing for us to do it in bits and pieces. Initially, I wanted to do it all in one or two weeks, let's call it two weeks, that we just grind it out and be done. Whether it's here in Nevada on WSOP.com or I travel outside of the U.S. and we do it elsewhere. But because it's been so hard to get our schedules to sync up, maybe I should just say next time I see an opportunity, hey, let's play a couple of days and then chip away at it over time.”

Phil Galfond indicated his interest in playing in High Stakes Duel III but was put off by not having a guarantee of three matches. He stated, “I kind of want the opportunity to have three shots. So, I mean, I don't want to officially throw my hat in the ring because it's going to be weird like if Jason wins, he's one of my closest friends. I don't really want to play him at all, but I would like to play on the High Stakes Duel at some point.”
