Cowboy Dan Cates Can't Lasso Sheriff Doug Polk in $200/$400 Heads-Up Match

Doug Polk invited Dan "jungleman" Cates out to his card room in Round Rock, Texas — The Lodge — for a friendly but highly competitive game of high-stakes heads-up poker, which took place on livestream Friday afternoon with the casino owner coming out victorious and dominating most of the match.

Both players dressed up in costume for the six-hour $200/$400 no-limit hold'em battle — Polk as a police sheriff, although he more resembled a park ranger, and Cates as a not-so intimidating cowboy.

The poker superstars were good sports and at least attempted to remain in character for much of the session, especially "Jungleman" who really seemed into the gig.
