After a three-month online poker battle with Daniel Negreanu<\/strong> at WSOP.com, Doug Polk<\/strong> is getting back in the action. The heads-up poker specialist and three-time World Series of Poker<\/strong> bracelet winner comes to High Stakes Poker<\/em><\/strong> in March.<\/span><\/p>\n

Polk highlights the last few episodes of the eighth season after PokerGO<\/strong> resurrected the iconic poker show. USPoker<\/em> has learned that he\u2019ll be featured along with some of the biggest names in poker<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Polk returns to live poker after huge win against Negreanu<\/span><\/h2>\n

High Stakes Poker<\/span><\/i> features Polk getting back to live play<\/strong> for the first time since the initial session against Negreanu. That took place in November<\/strong> and was also on PokerGO.<\/span><\/p>\n

The streaming service brought back the iconic poker show in 2020<\/strong>. The eight season features some of the biggest names in poker at the PokerGO Studio<\/strong> at Aria in Las Vegas<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with three World Series of Poker titles, Polk is also no stranger to online poker<\/strong> success as well. His poker career began by turning a $20<\/strong> deposit on PokerStars<\/strong> into a $10,000<\/strong> bankroll. He went on to become one of the best online cash game players in the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

After some post-match analysis, Polk believes Negreanu was fortunate not to lose more than $1.2 million<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cGoing through all my stats from this challenge,\u201d Polk recently posted on Twitter. \u201cMy frequencies in so many of these spots were just phenomenal. It was weird playing an entire challenge with no data but I’m just so proud of the level of poker I played at for this thing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

With the win against Negreanu now in the past, Polk looks to parlay some of that momentum. Polk should make for some interesting viewing and isn\u2019t afraid to mix in some banter.<\/span><\/p>\n

A dream to play on ‘High Stakes’<\/span><\/h2>\n

Along with Polk, the lineup for the last few episodes of High Stakes Poker features Phil Ivey<\/strong>, Phil Hellmuth<\/strong>, Tom Dwan<\/strong>, <\/span>Bryn Kenney, Brandon Steven, James Bord, and Jake Daniels.<\/span> The players will be battling it out in $200-$400 No Limit Hold\u2019em<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Polk, appearing on High Stakes Poker<\/em> always seemed out of the realm of possibility. Before winning millions in the game, like many he was a fan who enjoyed televised poker<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m extremely excited,\u201d Polk told PokerGO of playing. \u201cThis is an iconic show. I grew up watching it. In fact, I grew up watching it as a kid and thinking how awesome it is just to see these players play, never had any idea or thought that I would one day get to play. It just seemed too unreal just to even possibly happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cSo to get to go from that to actually playing in those games, it\u2019s cool. It\u2019s cool to know that I went on that journey and here we are today.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, Polk said he\u2019s become bored again with poker and looked to step back from the game. High Stakes Poker<\/em> appears to be an exception to that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can Polk book yet another nice win after so many months of high stakes action online? Viewers will find out soon. Polk has recently been considering what he might have won had the matchup with Negreanu been in a different currency<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Also I cannot confirm nor deny that bitcoin was sold for this purpose ffs why did this happen to me<\/p>\n

A few other names on the show include Jake Daniels, Brandon Adams, and Jason Koon<\/strong>. Daniels hails from Texas<\/strong> and has $1.3 million<\/strong> in live tournament winnings. He\u2019s become a regular on the Las Vegas high roller scene at Aria and Wynn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adams returns to the show after appearing 13 years ago. His career highlights include a <\/span>2019 WSOP bracelet and more than $5 million<\/strong> in lifetime tournament winnings.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis is incredible,\u201d Adams told PokerGO<\/a> about returning to the show. \u201cI was fired up to play with Phil [Ivey] and Tom [Dwan] because I haven\u2019t played with them in so long. In particular Tom, because I\u2019ve played so much with him and hung out so much with him, but less so the past few years because he\u2019s been based in Asia. I\u2019m looking forward to playing with him again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

One of the most successful players in poker, Koon has $31 million<\/strong> in live tournament winnings. He\u2019s also currently a member of Team partypoker<\/a><\/strong> and has scored in some of the biggest events around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

The episode also features businessmen James Bord, Lazaro Hernandez, and Chamath Palihapitiya.<\/span><\/p>\n
