Doug Polk Hits the Max Late-Reg Button
Coming in as the last registrant of the field is the one and only Doug Polk. He came in and instantly jumped into the action, having the better part of his stack depart in a three-way pot.
Adam Garcia opened to 2,200, and both Cody Wells and Trey Valkenaar called. Doug Polk then three-bet shoved for 21,900 from the button and Raul Garza called in his stack for less, having just 19,100 in the small blind.
Michael Tillman was in the big blind and elected to put his 9,100 into the middle as well. Garcia, Wells, and Valkenaar all folded, leaving just three for a runout, with Polk having a chance to drop two.

The dealer spread out , hitting Garza with a bullet to take the lead, and the turn changed not a thing. Polk and Tillman needed some love but the river missed them, sending Tillman to the rail, and Polk was left short.
On the next hand, Polk put in the rest of his stack in the cutoff and Qing Lu called from the big blind. Lu tabled and Polk showed his .
The board came down and Lu took down the hand with her two pair. Polk was sent to the rail shortly after jumping into the Day 1c flight.
