Negreanu had surprised many poker fans with his competitive performance through eight sessions. But over the past three days — more than 1,500 hands — the GGPoker ambassador has been completely dominated. Part of that Polk dominance in recent days is due to luck. Some, however, has been the result of outplaying his opponent and getting maximum value with his monster hands.
With Wednesday’s two-hour session included, Polk has now turned a six-figure profit three straight sessions. Negreanu remains confident in his play and said in his post-game interview on the GGPoker YouTube channel that he feels he’s run terrible throughout the match. And he might be right, but Polk has also effectively taken advantage of Negreanu’s loose river calling strategy. So, luck hasn’t been the only factor in the current results.
