I love how Galfond can just make a video full of praise for himself and nobody bats an eye because there's really nothing else to say. You're a true inspiration and the best ambassador for the game. People don't see the struggles but you can be truly proud of everything you've achieved, Phil!

Happy for you Phil. So glad you have Farah. I was a Pro Poker Player and Sports Handicapper/Consultant lived in Summerlin near Red Rock Casino in Vegas for 15 years (2005-2020). My partner Sara was with me for about 8 of those years. She had bipolar disorder and she unfortunately died by suicide when I went away one weekend by July 4th to visit my parents in Laguna Beach. The love of my life was gone. She never could handle my unique lifestyle gambling, my crazy hours always focused on the games, it was a huge stressor, even though it paid for all our bills and much, much more. I miss her every day and wonder what would have been different had I not been focused on the gambling all day everyday 7 days a week. I am so glad you have this support system, including your parents. It is so important. Again, so happy for your success and happiness man. I left Vegas when Covid hit, I felt it was time for some changes. I will be watching your episodes from a bit north now in Lake Tahoe.

@@dkizxpt-su3ze Thanks John. It was insane, including my own Cancer diagnosis in 2015. My Dr in Summerlin completely misdiagnosed me too. I am lucky, I am a survivor. I appreciate every day, my health, my family. I have learned now that life is more than just the constant pursuit of money and riches. That is all gambling was to me, a personal gratification/fulfillment, made me feel more significant and important. That is not what produces the happiness in the end. Took me like 20 years to realize that. Now I feel more satisfaction helping others and helping society
