Polk with the Weapons

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Doug Polk raised to 9,000 from under the gun and was called by Brandon Adams in the small blind and Stephen Chidwick in the big blind. The flop came {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and the action was checked to Polk who bet 10,000. Adams called and Chidwick check-raised to 40,000. Polk hung around while Adams got out of the way.

The turn was the {2-Hearts} and Chidwick checked to Polk who bet 45,000. Chidwick made the call and the {k-Hearts} hit the river. Both players checked and Chidwick turned over {5-Spades}{4-Hearts}. That was not good enough to beat the {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} Polk was holding.
