Polanco Dodges Scary Board for Triple Up

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There were five players that saw a {9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} flop. John Malczan checked his option from the big blind and Laurence Ohalloran moved all in from under the gun for 26,100. Action folded around to Luis Polanco who jammed for less holding 18,500 and Malczan called.

John Malczan: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Luis Polanco: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Laurence Ohalloran: {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Polanco was ahead but needed to dodge some cards for it to stay that way.

The turn was good for Polanco as it came the {8-Spades} and the river fell the {6-Hearts} to give Polanco the triple up while Malczan scooped the side pot to eliminate Ohalloran.

Quad Sixes for Luis Polanco

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There was heads up action between Luis Polanco from the cutoff and Johnny L from the hijack.

The board read {10-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades} and L checked his option to Polanco who moved all for 21,500.

With already 50,000 in the middle, L took some time to consider but ultimately mucked his hand which was the correct decision as Polaco's hand was tabled {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.
