Farah Fath Talks Acting, Poker and Starting a Family | Ep: 18

The Heart of Poker Podcast

We are thrilled that Episode 18 of Heart of Poker is our first ever family sequel! Last week we had Phil Galfond answer Kara’s set of specially designed psychological questions, and this week it’s the turn of his wife Farah Fath Galfond.

Farah is lucky (and talented) enough to have made it in two separate careers: acting and high stakes poker. She starred in Days of Our Lives for almost a decade, and also has multiple cashes in the WSOP to her name, as well as regular appearances on shows like Poker After Dark. In this episode, she shares how she balances poker with being a mom, her early experiences with acting, and scheduling lessons from her husband.

It’s fascinating to compare Farah’s responses to Kara’s highly personal questions with those of her husband, including the story of how they first met and fell for each other. Will they remember it differently? You’ll have to listen to find out...

If you haven’t checked out last week’s episode with Phil make sure you do that too, as well as earlier episodes with some of the biggest personalities in poker: Mori Eskandani, Jason Koon, Dominik Nitsche, Vanessa Selbst, Maria Ho, Brad Owen, and many more.
