Polk HU Challenge vs World: Ball passado a ferro

Dias após o frente-a-frente com Bill Perkins, Scott Ball foi o jogador que se seguiu no desafio que Doug Polk lançou ao mundo e desta feita saiu mais sorridente, com duas sessões para perto de 1.000 mãos a fecharem com saldo nos seis dígitos de diferença.

A primeira sessão terminou com uma mão que virou o rumo da linha verde-vermelho, enquanto que a segunda sessão foi ainda mais dura para o segundo adversário, que ainda assim saiu com boa impressão da experência:

Off to Austin tomorrow to check out @LodgePokerClub for the first time and enjoy some heads up action. Never played poker in Texas before and heard the room is super nice. Really looking forward to it.

Tal como Perkins, Scott Ball fez call rápido a Doug Polk e durante mais de 7h ambos disputaram perto de mil mãos heads-up  em duas sessões, em directo no canal Poker At The Lodge. Eis alguns dos melhores momentos a serem destacados nas redes sociais:

Ao fecho do poker, nesta segunda sessão do Polk vs World Challenge, Doug fechou no verde acima de 681 BBs:

Sem informação pública sobre o próximo adversário, Doug vai fazer uma pausa:

Thanks to @EndGameScott for coming out. Obviously had our differences in the past but enjoyed playing HUNL last couple days.

Gonna take a few off from playing. Will be figuring out next opponents as well.
