His 2014 total earnings dating from January 1 sit steadily in the green with a profit of $678,841. He has played a total of 38 sessions and 6,876 hands grinding the Full Tilt nosebleed No Limit Hold’em high stakes cash game tables.
Polk chooses to regularly grind the No Limit Hold’em Heads Up tables at stakes of up to $500/$1000. In 2013, he finished one epic match versus Viktor “Isildur1” Blom a $1.2 million looser, but despite his losses in that match he still claims to be online poker’s number one NLH Heads Up specialist.
He finished 2013 with a NLH profit of $674,103 under his PokerStars screen name “WCG|Rider” and $433,783 in profit via his Full Tilt Poker screen name “WCGRider.” His combined PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker earnings actually made him the fourth highest earner playing No Limit Hold’em coming out of the high stakes online poker cash games.
In January this year Polk managed to reclaim a cut of that $1.2 million 2013 loss from Blom in a heads up match on the $500/$1,000 CAP tables. Polk had Blom down to $500,000 before Blom made a minor comeback, but Polk remained ahead after a five hour match that saw him up $300,000 adding to his currently impressive 2014 profit margin.
Right now, including all poker variants played online, Polk stands as 2014’s third highest profitable online poker player coming entirely from his NLH play, while Ben “Bttech86” Tollerene ($1,595,394) and Viktor “isildur1” Blom ($1,469,996) hold first and second respectively.
