Pollak Gets There on the River
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Ron Jacobowitz raised to 1,300 in middle position and Walter Vanschaik called in the hijack. Craig Pollak then three-bet to 5,000 on the button, and both opponents called.
The flop came K♦J♦10♦ and Vanschaik bet 6,000. Pollak called, while Jacobowitz got out of the way.
Vanschaik bet another 12,000 on the 2♥ turn, and Pollak again called. The A♠ river was checked down, and Vanschaik showed K♥10♥ for two pair. Pollak, though, had rivered a straight with K♣Q♥ to win the pot.
