Doug Polk (USA)
Doug Polk is looking for challengers for a new challenge. Anyone who wants to can face the heads-up specialist one-on-one.

He invites players to the platform he represents, Club WPT Gold, for No Limit Hold’em at blinds of $100/$200 or higher. 5.000 hands are to be played over three days.

For every victory, the opponent receives $25.000 cash on top. Every time Polk wins, the bounty increases by $25.000 up to $100.000.

Opponents are primarily selected based on whether they bring a fanbase and thus viewers for the match.

Daniel Negreanu is not to be found on the list. He lost a total of $1,2 million to Polk in a heads-up duel in 2021. As a GGPoker pro, however, he would likely not play on the WPT platform Club Gold.

Other names that Polk brought up alongside Hellmuth, Ivey, and Galfond as potential opponents were Eric Persson, Matt Berkey, Luke Schwartz, Bryn Kenney, and “Big Huni”.
