For Polk, it’s not just about getting his cash back. It’s redemption.
Backstory: 2023 Close Call
in February 2022Pork began his first high stakes prop bet at Perkins with nearly 28% body fat. The goal was simple yet cruelly demanding: drop down to 13.85% within a year. Pork embraced strict training sessions and strict dietary protocols, and ambitiously approached the challenge. Despite brave efforts, the final Dexa scan lights up February 10thIn 2023, the body fat percentage was revealed to be 15.1%.
The loss was stabbed, but the pork was empty-handed and not leaving. He gained important insights into changing his physique, developing healthier habits, and pacing himself. Now he is determined to correct his past mistakes and regain a large sum of money.
Perkins’ passion for fitness betting
Bill Perkins is not your average prop bet. He has built a reputation for combining high stakes gambling with genuine health challenges. After his victory over Pork, Perkins took his prop bet game to new heights in another poker powerhouse, Shawn Deeve. Known for his offensive poker style and substantial physique, Deeve faced even steeper odds. The stakes were sky high. It was amazing If Deve could reduce body fat to 40% to 17% in just 14 months, $1 million.
Deve, initially dismissed by many who could almost impossible, shocked the world of poker. His commitment to early morning training, structured dieting and relentless discipline made him almost unrecognizable. His transformation was very impressive, but Perkins looked at the writing on the wall and bought it from the bet for $800,000.

Round 2: Pork red chance
Armed with this knowledge and new confidence, Polk enters his rematch against Perkins Leaner (currently 22%), but under much more severe time constraints. He was currently only six months by October 6, 2025.
Most people were far below the actual number: I’m starting this bet with 22% body fat
There’s a line and $200,000 @bp22I need to reach 11% until October 6th.
Do you think I can do that?

The challenge is not to reduce itself, but rather lose body fat percentage, resulting in a tough battle between muscle preservation and fat loss. Polk’s battle plans are clear. It combines weightlifting five times a week to approximately 1,800 calories per day. Polk openly acknowledged his past mistakes, particularly a late start, and has promised to aggressively attack the challenge from the first day of this time.
The world of poker reacts
Both poker enthusiasts, professional players and casual fans gather on social media to offer a range of opinions about the chance to poke. World Poker Tour commentator and two-time WSOP bracelet winner Tony Dunst publicly expressed confidence in Pork’s ability to pull it out within the tight time frame and showed his willingness to spend money on Pork.
It’s difficult to take six months from 22% to 11%, but it’s very realistic. I bet on you to get there.

On the other side, critics highlight Polk’s difficult leap from the previous best 15.1% to the ultra-Leann 11%, noting the exponential difficulty of reducing these last few percent points.

It’s not easy, but $ is always a good motivation

One more? This is great. 11% are tight for 6 months, but do what you can.
Attack me and I’m willing to help with barter. 3 hours of head-up coaching. 😁

Shawn Deve’s incredible transformation exists as a beacon of Polk’s hope and motivation, demonstrating the pure power of will and discipline. Polk has been so close before that he banks on sophisticated strategies and deeper mental resilience to cross the winning finish line.
Win-Win scenario
Regardless of the financial outcome, Pork will be very much gained from this bet. Like Perkins’ other fitness prop bets, the real reward goes beyond just money. It’s about challenging personal limitations, improving health and changing lifestyles. I’ve already tasted the winning pork and want to repeat it.
In October, the world of poker witnesses whether Pork reded himself in an epic way and whether Perkins claims yet another victory in his unique brand of high stakes, High Awards fitness gambling. One thing is for sure, this prop bet promises equal excitement, drama and inspiration.
