Pollak Gets River Value
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Benjamin Pollak raised to 13,000 from under the gun, which only Boris Kolev called in the hijack.
On the 3♦5♦8♣ flop, Pollak continued for 14,000, and Kolev stuck around again.
Both players checked on the 7♦ turn, and the dealer completed the board with the K♣.
Pollak assembled a bet of 39,000, and when Kolev kept him honest with a call, Pollak flipped over 9♥9♦.
That was good enough to claim the pot, as Kolev mucked his hand.
