After skipping out on the long registration line to begin the day, Doug Polk has finally taken his seat at the 2022 WSOP Main Event. Polk has wiggled his way back into the poker scene over the last year or so after announcing his "retirement" from tournament poker back in 2018.
Besides a recent final table finish at the Lodge Poker Club which he is now a part-owner of, Polk's last tournament result came back in 2017. With over $9.5 million in live tournament winnings and highly regarded as one of the best online heads-up players in the world, Polk is certainly a fan favorite among many at the WSOP by attracting a rail already.

Joseph Salvaggi was facing a big river decision as the board read 
. The pot had about 65,000 in it and Salvaggi was under the gun. From the cutoff, Ting-Yi Tsai had forced him all in with a river jam.
Salvaggi told his table that the hand would be the last one before break and with the clock still showing 3 and a half minutes until the break, it meant a long tank was to come. The rest of the table got up and got ready to beat the crowd to break, while still lingering to watch the result of the hand.
Salvaggi told Tsai he was leaning calling at first but had shifted to leaning fold. Eventually, he did indeed fold and Tsai did not oblige the request to show.
