Pollak Folds Top Two
Benjamin Pollak was all in for his tournament life right after the break again, but once more he chopped the pot as he had the same hand as his opponent. This time he and Carlo Savinelli both had ace-queen. Not much later the French pro would face a much tougher situation.
Dany Parlafes opened the button for 85,000 and Benjamin Pollak in the big blind made the call. Pollak check called a bet of 90,000 on 
and check called another 165,000 on the 
turn. The 
on the river made Pollak check a third time. Parlafes shoved all in and all the pressure was on Pollak.
The Frenchman asked how much Parlafes was playing. Parlafes didn't answer, but did lift his arm to show a lot of towers of 25,000 chips.
Pollak thought for some time before open mucking
