Phil Galfond vs. Sauce123: High-Stakes PLO Showdown


In a high-stakes Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) game with blinds at $50.00/$100.00, Phil Galfond found himself in a challenging situation. Galfond was dealt 7h Ac Ah 3h and faced a tough opponent in Sauce123, a wealthy businessman or trust fund manager who has been playing poker for a long time and is one of the main sponsors in the history of online poker.

Galfond raised to $350.00 preflop, and Sauce123 responded with a raise to $1200.00. After three folds, Galfond raised again to $3750.00, and Sauce123 called $2550.00. The flop came 2d 4d Kd, presenting a monotone board that can be tricky to navigate.

Galfond and Sauce123 engaged in a detailed discussion about the best strategies to employ in this situation. Galfond considered the equity of his hand against Sauce123's likely range and discussed various lines of play, including pushing all-in on the flop, making small bets, or checking and folding. The analysis delved into the probabilities and expected value of different actions, highlighting the complexities of high-stakes PLO play.

I'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.
