No Limit Hold 'Em Poker Discussion

Daniel finished the day up around 140K.
Doug has the overall lead, ~$810,000 up. I’m not sure how many hands they played today, but they should somewhere around 10,300 total. I believe they will resume on Monday.
 
Reading through some clickbait titles it looks like Daniel finally had a meltdown on the number of coolers he was coming out the worse of.

Anyone actually logging it or following it close enough and get a number on when he's losing when he gets his money in as the better (even if it's 51-49)? I'm just curious, cos if the click bait is to be believed, he went like 0-20 or some absurd amount.

It's what I'm looking for as well... When I know, you'll know lol.

Again, if everything you read is to be believed, what Daniel can't buy a break
 
Annnndddd theyre back today to resume the challange. They took a week off.

To start the session, Doug is up $815,000 after 10,800 hands.
 
I havent been able to track specific hands today...
3 hours in to play, Daniel is up around $140K.
 
This session is over....Daniel finishes up around $118K.
Doug is up a total of around $695K.

To be continues on the Dec. 23.......
 
The saga continues. Daniel had back-to-back winning sessions.

They are going to be playing today at 17:30 EST. Doug is up $644,000 after 13,750 hands.
 
Doug Polk broke a million dollar (finally) in this challenge with a great session.

Will the better player with the vastly superior gameplan edge his way towards 1.5 mil?

I say yes...
 
Update: this challenge is more or less over:



After hitting over a million dollars a few sessions ago Doug Polk lost the last few sessions to bring his total down to $736K after 21,306 hands played before playing this last session.

This session was extra long in time (over 6 hours long). Doug had a massive lead and decided to join his stream and do play by play. Somewhere along the way he lost all his gains of the session. At one point it was actually quite dangerous for Polk I think. They were deep stacked in one table with tons of chips in play so it could have theoretically brought down the gap significantly if Lady Luck had favored Dan. But nope... it swung back over to Doug slowly and steadily. Doug finished out the session with a haymaker or two forcing Dan to call it quits.

Doug is now up $942K with 23,306 hands played (they played 2000 hands this session!).

Doug is an all time fucking poker champ IMO. He truly showed how a poker player can perform at a masterclass level with studies and tons practice (having a super talented team supporting him also helps).

They finished the challenge and Doug even showed his hole cards throughout this session (5 min delay). He was down a shit ton and then stormed back and eventually won more than $250K at the end. Although Dan lost a shit ton of money he learned a lot and showed vast improvements over the course of this challenge (per Doug). This will make him a better poker player overall now that he has strengthen his 1v1 knowledge and poker skills. Hope to see Dan perform even better in real live tourneys.

gonna miss this series as it was truly entertaining and super educational for me.

Going to Vegas on the 19th. Anyone know if they have NL open or is it closed like it is here at my Native casinos.

Not bad considering what it looked like 2 weeks ago. Mind you, Daniel at one stage looked like he might be able to get it to a few hundred thousand. I guess go on him for going for the W by gambling.
