Ladies, Phil Galfond is officially off the market!

The professional poker player got engaged to American actress Farah Fath, best known for her role as Mimi in 'Days of Our Lives.'

Phil 'OMGClayAiken' Galfond is well-known in both the online and live poker communities where he spends most of his time playing high stakes cash games. He also won a World Series of Poker bracelet in 2008 by besting a tough field in $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha to emerge victorious.

Because of his success at the high stakes tables, Galfond used to be a regular guest on one of the best (if not the best) poker shows, GSN's High Stakes Poker. Prior to his poker career, Phil worked as a counselor at camp 'Tall Timbers.'

His fiancee, Farah Fath, began her career in show business at the age of five. In addition to her role in 'Days of Our Lives,' she also portrayed Gigi Morasco on the ABC Daytime soap opera 'One Life to Live.'

The two dated for two years and Phil revealed a side to himself that the majority of those who know him from his TV appearances were not privy to. (Some reading his long and often very deep and well-thought out blogs could have had an idea). He went above and beyond to prepare a very romantic proposal for his fiancée, planning it so well that not many girls would be able to resist saying ‘yes.’

Galfond proposed to his girlfriend at the kitchen table of their home in Vancouver. He wrote a 12-page long hand-written love letter and bought the same bottle of wine that they shared on their first date. The biggest surprise was a 3-carat pear-shaped ring which was, as Farah stated for ‘The Soap Opera Digest,’ beyond her wildest dreams. Farah also said that she would be honored to become Mrs. Galfond and enjoyed posing with the ring.

Phill Galfond tweeted about his engagement to Farah, saying that she is the most beautiful, talented and incredible women.

Some of the congratulatory messages following his statement were from fellow pro Daniel Negreanu and Ben Wilinofsky.

Although the wedding date hasn’t been set in stone, the happy couple are planning to get married next year in the Las Vegas home that they both designed together.

Congratulations from us here at PokerTube as well - run good!
