Polak Flops Three Threes
Level 3
: 100/200, 200 ante
Matt Polak was in the big blind and defended versus an early-position open. Both players checked the flop 
.
The turn was the and Polak bet 5,000. His opponent called, and Polak threw out another 5,000 on the river 
.
Polak's opponent let out an audible sigh and then took a handful of seconds to meekly toss a chip onto the felt. Polak showed 
and the player became visibly frustrated, flashing 
as he threw his cards to the muck and complaining about Polak having hit numerous boards on the day.

Thomas Building Piles
Level 3
: 100/200, 200 ante
There was a pile of chips in the middle on a board reading 
with heads-up action between Daniel Thomas in the big blind and an opponent in early position.
Thomas bet 15,000 and his opponent jammed for a little more than a qualifying raise. Thomas called.
"Do you have the flush?" asked Thomas's opponent as he turned over 
. Unfortunately for the player, he wound up being in even worse shape than if he were up against a flush as Thomas turned over 
for a turned set of nines. The case four did not come on the river and Thomas collected the pot and the knockout, bringing him over a quarter-million in the process and making him the chip leader in the field with less than 90 players now remaining.
