Realestate.yahoo.com has published an interesting article called "Bachelor Builds Slide Between His NYC Apartments".

In the article you can see Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond's peculiar New York penthouse apartment.

The apartment has a slide, that connects the two downtown Manhattan penthouses, and according to the article Galfond bought the penthouse in October 2008 for no less than $3.14 million:

"Perhaps you won't be surprised to find out that this penthouse combo is in the East Village's most notorious party pad, the A Building. According to public records, Penthouses F & G were bought on the same day in October 2008 for a combined $3.14 million.

The buyer was Phil Galfond, who we're guessing is the same Phil Galfond that makes his living as a professional poker player and lives in New York City.

If there's one guy you'd expect to have a metal slide linking his two downtown Manhattan penthouses, it's a 26-year-old poker pro, right? Our only question is, dude, why leave out a ball pit at the bottom? Wheeeee!"

Since 2007 our results show Galfond up over $8M from his cash games at Full Tilt Poker. He has also one WSOP bracelet and over $1M winnings from live tournaments.
