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.

Action starts after the river with the board having ran out J♠A♥10♦6♠9♣. After a check from his opponent, Roger Mason shoved all in for 230,000. His opponent tanked for a minute before opting to fold to the all in, leaving Mason to scoop the pot.
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.
With just 4 players left before the bubble bursts the action folded to a player in middle position who says "I'm only shoving aces or kings" before moving all in for his remaining 77,000 chips. Michael Bohmerwald is the very next player to act and calmly slides in some chips to signify a call. The remaining players fold and the cards are on their back.
Middle Position: K♣K♦
Michael Bohmerwald: A♣A♥
The board ran out queen high and Bohmerwald deals the brutal cooler to eliminate his opponent just minutes before the money.
