Will Doug Polk return to professional poker?

Douglas Polk assures that he gave up poker once and for all and returned to the game only to battle with Negreanu. There are some doubts in that regard, since poker players often quit poker, but then come back and continue playing.

It should be noted that it was Polk who challenged Negreanu, and not vice versa. Such a step does not match up with his "once and for all" position. Already, Polk is making intensive preparations for the fight and devotes a lot of time to the game.

Will there be a slowroll in the first session?

Both players are familiar with poker etiquette and understand that it’s hardly pleasant when being slow rolled. But, Negreanu and Polk are not friends, and given their enmity, we may assume that one of them would taunt an opponent in this way.

The most interesting question towards the given bet: who would decide whether there was a slowroll? It would be the owner of the site, Mike McDonald, of course. The guy has an excellent reputation in the poker community, so you don't have to worry about his honesty in that regard.

When will the heads-up battle end?

This bet should be good for people who are willing to wait however long is necessary. The big battle between Polk and Negreanu is coming, but this show is unlikely to over quickly.

Negreanu and Polk are unlikely to play every day; they will definitely want to make the heads-up last longer. Moreover, the stakes are too high, and the guys have enough money. The bookmaker considers the approximate date of the end of the battle to be February 1. Pokershares offers the possibility to guess whether the confrontation will finish earlier or later than the given date.
