Doug Polk Awarded YouTube's Silver Play Button
Doug Polk is by far one of the most well-known figures in the poker world. Sure, we��ve seen him many times on the felt, but over the last year, he��s become more recognizable by the general audience for hig vlogs and social presence.
Polk is really active across social media platforms, as you can follow him on Instagram, Twitch, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter and since last year, Youtube.
His channel started in June 2016 and was the first poker YouTuber to hit 100,000 subscribers. As of Monday, he had more than 147,000. That��s some serious growth in a very short amount of time. At this same time last year, his channel only had 23K followers. That's a 547% growth rate from year-to-date. Impressive.
Another achievement: Polk passed Daniel Negreanu in subscribers last December and still holds a slight lead over 'Kid Poker.'
His videos consists of strategy, hilarious takes on news, highlights from his famous Twitch streams, and a wide selection of great entertainment.
Polk��s channel is growing by the day, and that is why he finally got the emblematic YouTube Silver Play Button, an award that YouTube gives to those content creators who surpass 100,000 subscribers. This is a big milestone to achieve, and of course Doug couldn��t have been more excited.
