Doug Polk and ClubWPT Gold Set $500,000 Poker Champs
The heads-up streamer event runs Sept. 19-26, with cash for the final four and cards-up commentary on Polk’s YouTube channel.
ClubWPT Gold and Doug Polk have announced Poker Champs, a $500,000 heads-up tournament that runs from Sept. 19-26. The event will start with eight live streamers in best-of-three matches, and the winners move on to the semifinals.
As covered in an earlier PokerOrg report, ClubWPT Gold signed Polk as part of an aggressive push to become more visible in poker. That same outlet also described the site as less than a year old and launched toward the end of 2024 as part of the World Poker Tour’s World Championships.
Poker Champs is set up so the final four all cash. The semifinal losers receive $75,000, the runner-up gets $125,000, and the two finalists play for $250,000.
So far, the confirmed field includes Alexandra Botez, xQc, sodapoppin and erobb221. ClubWPT Gold has said none of the players involved will be professional poker players.
The matches will take place on the ClubWPT Gold platform, and each participant will livestream their own perspective during every round. Polk will also provide cards-up commentary on each matchup, with the show available on his YouTube channel, where viewers will see both players’ hole cards and webcam feeds.
The full lineup will be announced soon, and the matchups will follow after that.
