if they release all the hole cards after the challenge then we can't question the legitimacy of the challenge.
However since Phil has other guys lined up I can't see him doing that.

Phil wins back another 140k, Sends veni storming off the table, Quitting over a half hour early, Never has either player quit early before today, I think veni has came unglued
-Allergic to the struggle
Veni has decided to pay a 3k a day penalty to Mentally reset, Match will resume on Thursday
-Allergic to the struggle
I think anyone in veni’s spot would have to be thinking what the hell is going on here, Saturday some guy coving the match said Phil has been in the lab, His bet sizing is different, I think like most people Phil is a honest person but let’s not fool ourselves here, Millions on the line and maybe more important to Phil his poker and training site, Really think he is being ghosted, Which might not even be against the rules

the funny thing is the people that actually though 10k sample of heads up plo was actually enough hands to prove vedi had a huge edge
a bad player could crush a better player over 10k heads up plo
action is still on-going, but galfond is up around $120 today, down only $200 for the challenge...
7000 hands to go...kid's got a punchers chance now...
5700 hands to go and he's down about 150K
gonna guess there is a provision in the agreement that the leading party can't go into "4 corners" mode and just fold every hand...
was thinking veni shoulda been doing that when he was up 500K and the side bet would have more than covered him folding every hand...
Todge another one of ur elderly posters apparently can't handle red bull
As shocked as I am to see myself write this, Phil's gonna win this one.
Not sure how he pulled this off, but it's happening. Phil's running pretty well lately in more than one way. His fail Run It Once Poker site, doomed for several reasons, is now doing much better due to the coronavirus boom. The site's probably still going to fail in the long run, but things just have a habit of working out in the end for Phil Galfond.
LOL, thread went from Druff grossly revelling in Galfond's losses and failed site before completely flipping on its head, lol.
Tough week for Team Retard on many fronts.

There was no glee. I've covered it during both the downswing and the upswing, including on the radio show. It's not like I was constantly highlighting the losing streak and then went silent when he started winning it all back.
I also keep saying this, but I have no personal dislike for Galfond. I don't think he's a bad guy. I don't feel he wronged me in any way. If I did, I would say so.
I'm not a fanboy, either. I don't hope he wins or loses. I'm just a neutral observer, and this entire situation (both his poker site and the challenge which spawned from it) is interesting. This isn't like Prahlad Friedman where I think his antics are amusing AND I dislike the guy.
Go back and read all your posts in the 'Galfond to start a poker site' thread on 2p2. There's definitely some spite in those posts. If it's not towards Phil for not hiring you, it's towards whoever it was you think told him not to hire you (I can't remember who it was) , which is even darker.
Nobody told him not to hire me, and I believed his reason that they had already staffed management by the time I e-mailed him. I still believe that. There's no bitterness.
I did find it amusing that the exact reasons I stated to hire me -- that I was an older person with a lot of experience in the online poker realm (and with a software background) -- were a big part of why the site made a lot of bad decisions. There wasn't an experienced adult in the room to tell them that they were doing a lot of dumb things. It didn't have to be me -- many others could have also filled such a role. But I did find it amusing that it came to pass exactly as I thought it would.
