Brewer, too, came in hot and decided to take a minute before shoving all in. Polk snapped for the smaller stack, and the cards were now open faced. Both the players had great cards, as Polk trusted his queens while Brewer was backed by his Cowboys. The excitement before the flop created a tense atmosphere as the pot value sat at $4,680,000. 

The flop came 6 , 8 , 5 , which saw Brewer continue boasting a dominating lead, citing his superior pocket kings. The 5 on the turn saw Polk left with just two outs. However, the poker gods decide to bless Doug Polk as the Q opens up on the river, to Polk’s delight. Yes, the three-time WSOP bracelet winner hits two outer and makes a full house.

The 34-year-old erupted in joy before doing a double lap and giving high fives to everyone who witnessed his victory in this crucial hand. He also collected a massive double-up and left Brewer with just a few big blinds left to spare.

 

Later on, Brewer was eliminated in 3rd place while Polk locked horns against Chanracy Khun in the heads-up round. However, poker gods didn’t support Polk this time around, who had to settle for second place in the $25,000-entry Heads Up Championship. While Polk walked away with $313,362, Khun pocketed $507,020 alongside the much-glorified bracelet. It remains interesting to see how the action continues to unfold at WSOP 2023!
