One of the most popular online poker streams right now belongs to Doug Polk. The high-stakes cash game guru often braodcasts his online poker exploits when he is playing in major tournaments.
This weekend, Polk bought into the final phase of the partypoker Powerfest Event 294 for the princely sum of $5,200 and allowed his fans to watch his quest to win a share of a guaranteed $1 million via his YouTube channel.
With 274 players in the field, the prize pool swelled to $1,424,000 with the champion taking home $271,272. Polk navigated his way to the eight-handed final table where he locked up $46,992, and one by one the players busted and the prize money increased.
