Doug Polk Heads to Florida to Compete in SHRPO High Roller
High stakes pro announces new 2% Giveaway, shows off Make Polker Great Again tank-top.
The poker scene has been moving at breakneck speed over the last few weeks as trending news topics have dominated forums, third-party platforms and poker media sites as we head towards the final half of August.
Upswing Poker pro Doug Polk is fresh off an extremely informative King of The Hill Podcast Week and landed in Florida over the weekend to compete in the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open $25,000 buy-in High Roller event.
Apparently, the Supreme Leader has already experienced one of the best unofficial raceways the United States has to offer on his short drive south from Fort Lauderdale to Hollywood Monday.
Anyone who thinks their state has the worst drivers has not been to Florida
