WSOP Archives: James Woods vs. Doug Polk
In May 2015, Upswing Poker pro Doug “WCGRider” Polk bought-in to the WSOP $3,000 NLHE Shootout Event #4. After successfully navigating his way through Day 1, Polk was seated at a table alongside legendary actor and producer James Woods.
What ensued was a whirlwind 9-hour match in which chips flew back and forth, crowds gathered, and epic bluffs were made. Polk later sat down with Poker Life Podcast host Joey Ingram to relive the battle.
