Doug Polk has tweeted that he is willing to put up $1,000,000 for a heads-up challenge against poker legend Tom “durrrr” Dwan. Polk gave Dwan a lot of credit, but would still step up and do it for the fans.
I hope that doesnt happen. Live mtts are 1 thing, but it would be very scary to play him in that format knowing his history.
If push came to shove id do it for the fans. It would be a tough challenge, but I would still put up 1m for 25k hands.
He has to post tho lol https://t.co/Cwqv1wqYYx

Shaun Deeb kicked off a discussion on Twitter about Doug Polk and Tom Dwan potentially making a massive prop bet for the World Series of Poker and Player of the Year award.
He made it clear that he fancies Dwan to crush Polk and disagrees strongly with the criticism Polk laid on Dwan during his assessment of his recent top 20 players ever poll.
What I wouldn’t give for a @TomDwan vs @DougPolkVids Wsop poy/bracelet bet this year I’d bet my roll on Tom. Think Doug was way too harsh on Tom I’ve been very impressed in multiple games by Tom’s skill and logic over the years

Polk also liked the sound of this challenge too, stating his willingness to put up $1 million on who can win a bracelet at the WSOP 2022.
And, as usual, he could resist making a cheeky comment that Dwan can bet $500k and get his fans and rich, Asian businessmen to stump up the rest.
Zero chance he says yes but im willing to bet a million dollars at even money on a 2022 bracelet vs @TomDwan
Maybe Tom can bet 500k and the fans or rich Asian businessmen can finance the rest.#DrawingDead https://t.co/J4oAYg01Sk

What is the chance of the HU Challenge happening?
Unfortunately, Tom Dwan hasn’t posted on Twitter since January so we have no idea how he feels about either challenge.
What we do know is, though, is that he was highly-motivated to take on Phil Hellmuth in the High Stakes Duel III. This could be a good omen that we might get to see two superstar heads-up cash game players square up over the virtual felt.
