Polk Doubles Through Galfond

Level 4 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Action folded to Phil Galfond in the small blind and he raised all in for effectively 54,000. Doug Polk squeezed his first card in the big blind and liked it.

"Alright, I think I have to go with it just based on one card," said Polk.

After looking at the second card, Polk called and tabled {K-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Galfond, however, turned over {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

"WHAT!?!?" announced an excited Polk. "How do you have queens? All in at table....what table is this? Table 9! We have an all in here!"

The flop fell {6-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{7-Hearts} to give Polk two pair and the lead. He held up through the {J-Spades} turn and further improved on the {K-Diamonds} river to double through Galfond.
