Doug Polk Returns to Poker Life Podcast, Talks WSOP One Drop Victory
Third WSOP bracelet Show & Tell. New Upswing Poker Lab instructor coming this week.
Marked cards controversy, upcoming Fedor Holz podcast, Upswing Party and more.
Three-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Doug Polk invited longtime friend and fellow high stakes pro Joey Ingram over to the Polk Palace Monday for a 90-minute sit down that highlighted a number of trending topics within our industry.
Doug’s recent $3.68 million score for first place in the $111,111 buy-in High Roller for One Drop tournament is still taking a while to sink in among Team Upswing friends, but Doug is already planning more poker vlogs leading up to the Main Event as he brainstorms a potential cryptocurrency or comedy channel to be launched later on this year.
Ryan Fee, Fedor Holz, Jason Les, Daniel McAulay, Jimmy Chou, Dong Kim, Bertrand Grospellier, Daniel Negreanu, Alec Torelli, and Luke Schwartz all get some love on the most recent Poker Life Podcast episode.
What’s more, Upswing Poker featured pro Ryan Fee has announced that a new Cash Game Instructor will be joining the Upswing Lab this week! You can check out the complete program along with a Timestamps Recap below.
