Pollak Trips One Up

With a raise from the player under the gun to 4,600 and a call from the next seat over before him, Kevin Pollak three-bet to 12,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back around to the two early-position players who both called.

The {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop was checked around. When the {8-Spades} turn fell, action was checked to Pollak who bet 17,000. Only the preflop caller tagged along and checked the {10-Clubs} river.

"I'm supposed to bet a lot," said Pollak. Instead, he checked and tabled {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for trips.

His opponent mucked and Pollak took down the pot.
