Doug "WGCRider" Polk Eliminated in 4th Place (AU$860,000)

Level 21 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Doug Polk - 4th Place
Doug Polk - 4th Place

Erik Seidel opened for 160,000 under the gun only to have Doug "WGCRider" Polk three-bet all in from the small blind. The big folded, Seidel called, and the cards were turned up.

Polk: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Seidel: {q-}{q-}

Polk was in bad spot, and things didn't look too promising on the {5-Spades}{j-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop. The {8-Diamonds} turn provided Polk a gutshot straight draw, but it didn't come in as the {K-Hearts} blanked on the river.

Polk, who invested two bullets in this tournament, was eliminated in fourth place for AU$860,000 and showed the poker world that he's not just a high-stakes online pro.
