Galfond Challenge: Galfond played profitably (+ $70 000)
Phil Galfond and Bill Perkins don’t please the audience with a regular play (as in the case with VeniVidi). Within a week, the duelists met at the PartyPoker tables only twice. Phil said that he had a clearly defined schedule with the late fees in a previous сhallenge. However, he didn’t settle the similar terms with Perkins.
A significant difference from the previous heads-up battle is that the game is held at PartyPoker with open cards. Perkins also has the option to replace his candidature by the players from his Thirst Lounge team. However, the millionaire hasn't used it yet.
By the way, Perkins doesn’t like to be called a millionaire. Bill has his own "Die With Zero" philosophy. He spends and donates his money in order not to accumulate savings.

PokerShares site of Mike McDonald practically doesn't believe in Perkins victory. As at April 22, Bill's odds for winning are 12:
