Beds: 4 Baths: 4 Square Footage: 2,400 Price: $3,990,000 More photos and listing at http://kng5.tv/R7uudi Formerly owned by 27-year-old pro poker player Phil Galfond, who moved to Canada when the U.S. Feds cracked down on Internet gambling, it’s said that he installed the helical slide so he could quickly get back to his computer during game breaks. In fact, Phil purchased the upstairs apartment and the downstairs unit and combined them into a duplex, adding a snappy Italian-made "Rintal" stair to ascend in style. The slide is housed in an 18’ tall glassed-in atrium with glass railings.
