Doug Polk Will Return for $25k Heads Up Championship Semifinal

Doug Polk has a serious reputation as a heads-up shark. That reputation is standing up to the heat of competition this year as he heads into the round of four in Event #8: $25,000 Heads Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship

Polk will be facing off against Chris Brewer tomorrw, while the other bracket pits Sean Winter against Chanracy Khun.

When asked about his match with Brewer, Polk said, "It should be a fun one. I��ve played Chris a bunch online. When I was prepping for my match against Daniel Negreanu, we played a good chunk of hands, and I smashed him pretty good. But he played pretty well. His frequencies and stuff were quite good, quite balanced."

The heads-up action returns Sunday at 4 p.m. Vegas time. You can follow tomorrow's action on PokerNews and by live stream (with a one-hour delay) on PokerGO from 5 p.m. onwards.

Ronnie Day won his seat in this year's Event #4: Tournament of Champions by taking down a $400 WSOPC ring event in Indiana. He managed to turn that $400 seat and a ring into $200,000 and a bracelet when he won the Tournament of Champions outright.

"It��s so surreal right now," Day said of his victory. "It��s unbelievable, I don��t even know how to explain it."

This TOC is a unique freeroll event. Players can only enter by invite, and invites are only available to winners of WSOP bracelets or WSOPC rings in the last year.

Sabishchenko: From A Chip and a Chair To Runner Up

The second bracelet of the day went to Ukrainian player Vadim Shlez in Event #7: $1,500 Limit Hold��em. Despite the US heavy field, Shlez found himself in the unusual position of playing a fellow countryman, Rostyslav Sabishchenko, heads-up for the gold.

There was a cheery air of camaraderie even as they tried to take each other's chips. The slava ultimately went to Shlez, who took down $146,835 for first.

However, Sabishchenko's second-place finish also deserves plaudits after he came back from being down to just one big blind on Day 2. He turned two chips and a chair into $90,753.
