With the tournament clock showing 1,215 players remaining, the hand-for-hand portion of the day has begun.
Doug Polk built his poker reputation on heads-up play. It’s where he’s most comfortable, staring at a single opponent directly across the table. And tomorrow, when the Final Four of Event #8: $25,000 Heads Up No-Limit Hold’em Championship begins at 4 p.m. local time, he can capture the one thing missing from his resume, the WSOP Heads Up bracelet.
Polk headlines the four remaining players who will gather on the main feature stage inside the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. He’ll be joined by Sean Winter, Chris Brewer, and Chanracy Khun, three opponents who have navigated through the grind of four heads-up matches to reach this stage.
Terance Perez was in first position and shoved his chips in and was called by a player in late position.
Late position player: Q♦K♦

Rafael Moraes opened to 23,000 from middle position and was called by the big blind.
Action checked to Moraes on a flop of A♦6♦8♠ and he continued for 16,000. His opponent made the call to see a turn.
The turn came K♦ prompting the big blind to check for a second time. Moraes showed no signs of slowing down, instead making it a hefty 45,000 to go. That second bet was enough to get the fold and send a decent pot the Brazilian pro's way.
