With less than 6,000 hands remaining in the high-stakes grudge match, Doug Polk holds a $565,000 lead, but Daniel Negreanu is closing fast. Will the GGPoker ambassador continue to cut into that deficit, and possibly even win?

Over the past two sessions — Days 31 and 32 — Negreanu eliminated $437,000 off the Upswing Poker founder’s lead. That equates to just under 11 buy-ins at $200/$400 stakes, a sizable amount.

On Day 32, they played for barely for two hours, about half of a normal session. The reason the session was cut so short is because Negreanu realized Polk had completely changed up his strategy. So, to adjust to his opponent’s new style of play, he called it quits for the day so he could begin devising a game plan to combat it.
