A few months ago, we embarked on a new collaboration with Run It Once Training to share with you their activities, new offerings, and latest promotions for Spring 2020. Well, summer has now rolled around and there’s been plenty going on over at Run It Once Training headquarters. Here’s the latest quarterly update for you such that you can keep abreast of their latest developments.

Run It Once Training Summer 2020

Without further ado:

Phil Galfond Goes 2-0 in the Galfond Challenge Thus Far

Unless you’ve had your head in the sand for the last six months, you’ve likely heard about the results from the Galfond Challenge. What began as an idea from Phil to prove he still has some gas left in the PLO tank turned into a roller coaster of emotions across multiple weeks and thousands of hands. Back in April, we chronicled the top 10 takeaways from Phil’s mind-blowing comeback versus his first challenger, VeniVidi1993.

Phil overcame a deficit of nearly €1,000,000 to claim the victory within the last 75 hands of the 25,000-hand marathon match. The comeback heard round the world was even featured on ESPN and reinvigorated the poker community in ways that were reminiscent of the online poker boom after Chris Moneymaker’s WSOP victory.

What may have slid under the radar, however, was Phil’s victory against an even stronger high-stakes, heads-up PLO lobby holder: ActionFreak. Phil clinched the win in this match on May 27, walking away with a $114,803 lead along with the $150,000 side bet. Combined with the first match and his current $90,144 lead against third challenger Bill Perkins, Phil is currently up over $456,580 in total. With the challenges not even halfway completed, Galfond still has well over $2 million at risk in side bets alone against Perkins and upcoming challengers Dan ‘Jungleman’ Cates, Brandon Adams, and Chance Kornuth

The Most Intuitive GTO Study Tool on the Market: PLO Vision

One of the tools Phil used to prepare for his challenges was the interactive, intuitive study tool PLO Vision. Run It Once Training released this proprietary PLO solver software in February and anyone willing to commit to their game can get access to this unique study tool. Two of the most recent updates include the addition of Pre-flop Training and the analysis of 4-Bet Pots both in the Practice and Learn modes of the Trainer.

So, if you want to engage in a whole new, innovative, unique study experience, head over to the Vision section on Run It Once to learn more or check out the easy-to-digest tutorial videos.
