well what can i say... massive congratulation for Doug "WCGRider" Polk, an American poker pro who i have never heard before, it looks like there is a trend nowadays if you play poker and have won sth you immediately become a pro, not even taking into account how much are you losing...

Lucky all the ones that got to play on this one, that had qualified with satellites and won some money at the end. I didnt know there was a coverage of it, on youtube. I would have watched it at some point.
That was pretty kind from him to let people watch his game live as mentioned in the article and what about the runner up, it seems to be a nickname for a girl so anyone have any info about???

Wonder if anyone so far streaming their live play has made a mistake, not setting a delay on it. Can be very costly mistake Unless there is a setup with prefixed standard delay by the sites, like twitch and youtube.
