Farah Galfond is an American actress and poker player with $259,821 in live earnings. She is married to fellow poker player Phil Galfond and lives in Las Vegas.
Galfond spent more than a decade working on the soap operas Days of Our Lives and One Life to Live and first discovered poker after moving from Hollywood to New York City.
"I didn't know anyone but the cast and the crew on One Life, they would get together for home games at people's apartments and different people would host it," Galfond told PokerNews in 2024.
After moving to Las Vegas, Galfond quickly climbed up stakes and eventually found herself playing as high as $2,000/$4,000 no-limit. She took a step back from poker in 2018 when her son was born and recently pivoted from cash to tournaments.
Galfond was the first guest on the Life Outside Poker w/ Connor Richards podcast on March 26, 2024.
