Negreanu has outplayed Polk for much of the past few weeks. But he’s still continuing to lose an uneven amount of coolers and bad beats in massive pots. Over the past two sessions, he’s lost a huge all-in pot to bad luck but hasn’t had any of those hands go in his favor.

On Day 23 (Jan. 4), the poker pros were all-in on the turn in one $80,000 hand. Polk had a small pair and flush draw, and Negreanu had an over pair. The river gave the Upswing Poker founder a winning flush.
