Pollak Triples Up
Four players went to the flop of 
and an all-out raising war ensued. The action was checked to Mustapha Kanit in middle position who bet 65,000. Benjamin Pollak called on the button and Kristen Bicknell check-raised to 215,000. The big blind folded and Kanit re-raised to 550,000. Pollak pushed all in for 632,000 and both Bicknell and Kanit called.
The main pot had just over 2.0 million chips in the middle with action pending on the side pot. The 
paired the board on the turn and both Bicknell and Kanit checked. The 
on the river double-paired the board and both players checked again. All three hands had to be shown and Pollak was the first to turn his over. He showed 
for a straight and Bicknell held 
for a missed flush draw. Kanit finally turned over 
and Pollak's straight held up to earn him the pot.
