Thursday’s session was quite competitive and there weren’t many massive pots. Early in the match, the poker pros traded jabs, with one player winning a sizable pot and then shortly after the other returned the favor.

For Polk, although he didn’t turn a profit, he found some more success with his over-sized river bets than on Monday. During that infamous Monday session in which Negreanu booked a $222,000 win, Polk lost most of his money due to some ill-timed big bluffs. That wasn’t the case so much on Day 8 and it led to a much smaller defeat.
