Doug Polk's Epic 100K Heads-Up Challenge
Episode 161
Monday, 3 March, 2025
Legion, lock in—we’ve got a brand new podcast with the Supreme Leader himself, Doug Polk! Doug just announced his insane $100,000 online poker challenge—one table, one month, and all the winnings go back to the fans on the new ClubWPT Gold site. But that’s not all—Doug has officially called out Joey Ingram for a heads-up match to kick off the challenge. Will Joey step up to the plate? We break it all down, along with the state of The Lodge, new poker meta trends for 2025, and the latest on the high-stakes world. Plus, we talk about Chamath's bold new tournament concept and the heated Twitter debate around his proposed rules, including a drug-free poker environment and no sunglasses or hoodies at the table. We’re also diving deep into the launch of the Venetian Poker stream and how it’s shaking up the Vegas poker scene, plus Doug’s take on the WSOP main event controversy sparked by Phil Hellmuth. Is Hellmuth really going to skip the biggest event of the year, or is this just another calculated move? Big shoutout to GTO Wizard—we just dropped a new coaching video breaking down turn and river strategy with Uri Peleg. Legion, we’re still rocking in 2025—let’s go!
