Doug Polk is a 31-year old "semi-retired" poker player, also known by his online moniker "WCGRider." After dropping out of college at 19 to pursue poker full time, Polk has put together quite the poker résumé.

From playing $0.01/$0.02 cash games on PokerStars, Polk has since amassed over $1.5m in online cash game profits before adding three WSOP bracelets in 2014, 2016 and 2017.

Such are the accomplishments he has achieved during his poker career, some have even speculated whether Polk could even join Negreanu in being inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame.

In September 2018, Polk announced his "retirement" from poker in a YouTube video stating that he wasn't going to play poker anymore. Obviously things have changed.
