When you play online heads-up at the highest stakes against the best players in the world on a regular basis, the swings can be astronomical. In a single session, or even a single hand, you might win or lose the same cash the top prize pays in a World Series of Poker bracelet event.
For such players, who could be earning their usually high hourly cash game rate online, or playing big cash games across Las Vegas throughout the summer, finding the motivation to grind tournaments at the WSOP can be a problem.
But that's simply not the case for Doug "WCGRider" Polk, who sat among the chip leaders at the 2015 WSOP Event #37: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed Championship Friday.
