Doug Polk Discusses WSOP & YouTube Content with Joey Ingram
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWoj_hBVdYo Upswing Poker featured pro Doug Polk joined Poker Life Podcast host Joey Ingram this Monday for a 90-minute episode that revolved around the 2016 November Nine and the duo’s upcoming YouTube content. Quite a bit has changed in the two-time WSOP bracelet winner’s professional life since his September 9th call-in to Papi’s show. For starters, Doug had a record-setting $455,000 USD online tournament score that was broadcast live on Twitch Poker. Secondly, the soon-to-be 28 year old has powered his way into the top tier of Twitch and YouTube poker personalities since he entered the Strategy & Entertainment casting realm in late June. However, perhaps the biggest moment for poker fans who watched Monday’s program came at the 4-minute mark, when the two longtime friends revealed an upcoming poker show that will feature both Doug Polk and Joey Ingram. The tentative start date for the “pardon the interruption” style live cast is Wednesday, November 16th. On top of that, Doug has started a new, non-poker YouTube channel in which he will upload videos that discuss pop culture topics and reach out to high profile personalities in that market segment. You can check out Doug’s debut clip on that channel below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5u3BRCdmFs Now that you’ve watched our favorite pro’s inaugural attempt at YouTube pop culture glory, here’s a look at the highlights of Monday’s episode featuring the $100 to $10,000 Online Poker Bankroll Challenge live streamer.
