Daniel Negreanu is no longer a heavy underdog in his battle against Doug Polk. Certainly not after completely obliterating his opponent on Wednesday for a massive win.

But it’s not just one session in which “DNegs” got lucky. He’s been battling stride for stride with the Upswing Poker founder throughout. Even in sessions that he lost, you can chalk up bad luck as a contributing factor. On Wednesday, luck may have been on his side a bit, but he won that session with superior play.

In the last session (Monday), Polk picked off the GGPoker ambassador for about $93,000. In doing so, he regained the lead overall by $67,000. Luck was on Polk’s side on that day as he won an $80,000 pot early on thanks to a fortunate river card.
