Pollak Exits, Tollerene Doubles

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

On a board reading {8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, Benjamin Pollak led out for 10,000 into a pot of 22,000 from the big blind. Isaac Haxton was in the cutoff and made the call.

The river paired the board with the {7-Hearts} and Pollak checked this time. Haxton shoved all in and Pollak instantly called for his last 45,000 chips. Haxton tabled {q-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a nine-high straight and Pollak was left with the bottom end of the straight, holding {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}.

Meanwhile, on the table next door, Ben Tollerene got all 57,000 of his chips in the middle against Cary Katz. Tollerene held the superior pocket pair with {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Katz showed {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. The board ran out clean for Tollerene as he earned himself a double up.
