"It's An Honor To Play With The Best Player In The World"

Nível 4 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

"All in and a call," we heard a dealer shout. We made our way over to see Justin Bonomo at risk for his last 40,700 against Doug "WGCRider" Polk.

Polk:
Bonomo:

Polk, who has already reentered the $100,000 Challenge, seemed a bit perturbed that his bad luck continued when the flop came down . Bonomo found an ace and became a massive favorite. Neither the turn nor river changed a thing, and Bonomo doubled on the hand.

At that moment, Polk was informed that he would be moving tables to take the seat of the recently departed Paul Newey. Polk made his way over, sat down, and then looked up at 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Ryan Riess.

"I just want to say it's an honor to play with the best player in the world," Polk needled.
