Pollak Triples Up With Aces

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Adrian Mateos raised to 20,000 from early position and Cary Katz called from one seat over. Benjamin Pollak in the big blind moved all in for 128,000 and Mateos asked for a count, then moved all in over the top. Katz snap-called all in for around 250,000.

Benjamin Pollak: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}
Cary Katz: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Adrian Mateos: {K-Spades}{10-Spades}

The board came {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Pollak tripled up.

"Yikes, Aces." Katz exclaimed and Pollak replied "You don't know me?"

"How old are you now Adrian?" Katz asked after the hand was over and Mateos replied "24."

"Oh, you are getting old. That's when you realize you can't run as good anymore as when you were 21," Katz joked.
