The "Galfond Challenge" is coming back.

Earlier this month, Phil Galfond revealed that the next "Galfond Challenge" would be starting in July.

The opponent? Brandon Adams.

According to Galfond, the two will be playing 40 hours worth of $100/$200 Pot Limit Omaha.

In a twist, the game will be held "live" at a Las Vegas casino.

As is the case with "Galfond Challenge" matches, there will be side bets as well.

If Galfond is up at the end of the 40 hour Challenge, he will receive an additional $100,000 from Adams.

Galfond has said that the two players are still trying to find a venue to play at, and that they are hoping that the match can be streamed for the public to view.

Phil Galfond is perfect so far in "Galfond Challenges".

Who can forget his dramatic come-from-behind victory over "VeniVidi", when he wiped out a massive deficit to come back and win by just 1,700 Euros?

After that, Galfond posted victories against Chance Kornuth, "ActionFreak" and Daniel Cates (mini Challenge), and is currently up against Bill Perkins.

Needless to say, Brandon Adams will certainly have his work cut out for him when he sits down to play Galfond in July.
