Michael Polcari - 11th Place

Action folded around to Thom Werthmann in the cutoff and he raised to 85,000. Michael Polcari pushed all in from the big blind for 636,000 and Werthmann made the call. The players showed:

Werthmann: {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

Polcari:

{10-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

The flop came {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

. Polcari let out a sigh of relief and Werthmann shook his head in disbelief. The {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

on the turn did little to affect the hand. The {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

on the river however gave Werthmann the winner. Polcari stood up, and headed for the rail. He was our 11th-place finisher and can add $36,756 to his tournament resume.
