Doug Polk
Doug Polk

From under the gun plus one, a player opened with a raise to 2,000. Action folded around to Doug Polk who called on the button and the big blind called as well brining three-way action to the flop.

The dealer rolled out the {5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and the big blind checked. The player under the gun bet 3,300 and Polk called. The big blind called as well.

On the {8-Hearts} turn, action checked all the way around to Polk on the button who but out a bet of 8,700. He was called by both players.

On the {6-Clubs} river, action checked to Polk again. Polk took a look at the early position player.

"About how much are you playing?" he asked. The player revealed a stack of just under 30,000. Polk then cut out a bet of 30,700 and pushed it foward. The big blind player folded quickly. The early position player thought for about two minutes before finally folding his hand.

"Phew," Polk said, letting out a sigh of relief. He showed the {K-Hearts}, keeping his other card face down.

"What a brutal card to show," Sam Grafton said. "Doug Polk ladies and gentlemen, just firing with no hope. He had the king queen of hearts, got married to his hand, crossed his fingers and just firing away hoping that nobody has clubs."

Polk cracked a smile and laugh and Grafton continued on his rant.

"He makes all these videos about how to bluff and when to bluff and in reality he's just firing. Fake news! Doug Polk is fake news! He will bluff with anything!"

Polk collected the pot, still laughing, and moved to above 100,000 chips for the first time today.
