Doug still had plenty of energy left Sunday evening after wrapping up Day 1 action, and uploaded the following YouTube video which recaps several key hands so far in the WCOOP High Roller event.
Redemption for Doug Polk?
Two years ago, WCG|Rider was in a similar position heading into the second day of the WCOOP High Roller event, but finished in a disappointing 8th Place after entering final table play with a healthy stack.
This year, Doug’s play will be streamed live on Twitch with hole cards up — which will likely mean a concurrent viewership audience of over 10,000 if the two-time WSOP bracelet winner is at the final table Monday night.
