Upswing Poker endboss responds to recent drama in the poker industry and shares his plans for the 2017 PokerStars SCOOP. Two-time WSOP bracelet winner and Twitch Poker record holder Doug Polk joined Joey Ingram on the Poker Life Podcast Friday to discuss Luke Schwartz, Daniel Negreanu, Poker Night in America, and his upcoming SCOOP live streams on DougPolk.TV. Doug has been in Vancouver this week preparing to battle against a competitive field of high stakes pros, fellow streamers and $11 MTT-grinding grandmas in hopes of capturing another huge cash score ahead of the May 22nd release of Upswing’s Tournament Master Class hosted by Pratyush Buddiga. Topics on Friday’s show ranged from a recent PokerNews segment with Luke Schwartz and an accompanying “extremely valid points” Tweet by PokerStars headline pro Daniel Negreanu to Doug’s May 2017 schedule and eventual stand-up comedy aspirations. Thousands of viewers are expected to tune-in to DougPolk.TV starting this Sunday at 12:00 Noon Pacific Time to find out if the Top 5 Poker Personality can once again find big-time success in a marquee online poker tournament series.
