With the WSOP raging, you could be forgiven for failing to pay the world of cash game poker much mind. If you have been focused on the series, then you might have missed some of the smaller poker gems that have been ongoing. Like The Lodge Card Club's cash game live streams which have continued through the WSOP.
In fact, the last month might have been one of the Lodge stream's best so far.
Polk has been on the streams more consistently than in the past, and the other members of the Lodge team — Brad Owen and Andrew Neeme — have shown up here and there. There was also a six-max game in which we got to see Liv Boeree play some of her first televised poker since COVID began.
However, the headline event was a heads-up $200/$400 game between Doug Polk and Daniel Cates. The genuine fun of which was only marginally undermined by the ersatz fun of playing dress up. Cates came dressed as a black-hat cowboy, while Polk came dressed as a modern-day sheriff.
