After taking a long break, Phil Galfond resumed his challenge on March 5. Our last update confirmed that whatever Phil did during his break worked, as on March 19 he had recovered more than €500k from VeniVidi.
On March 22, VeniVidi1993 decided to take a break from the game after losing €220k in two sessions. The match started again on March 26, but the situation didn't change for VeniVidi and again, on March 30, after three sessions with a loss of another €220k, VeniVidi asked to take a couple of days off.
