Doug Polk is catching everything in sight in every big pot it seems, and he now leads Daniel Negreanu by a country mile in the heads-up grudge match.

Polk. one of the top heads-up no-limit hold’em players ever, doesn’t need much help. But the deck has repeatedly smacked him in the face throughout the challenge. His run of good luck was more existent during Saturday’s session than any other.

At this point, the odds of Negreanu coming from behind to win are getting slimmer by the day. Strange things have happened in poker. Earlier this year, Phil Galfond rallied from a $900,000 deficit against “VeniVidi1993” to win the first Galfond Challenge.
