Pollak Runs Into Straight

Erik Buxhoeveden opened the action with a raise to 6,000 and it folded all the way around to Kevin Pollak's big blind. Pollak called and the flop came {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

Pollak checked and Buxhoeveden continued out with a bet of 4,000. Pollak called and both players checked the {10-Clubs} turn. The {Q-Clubs} completed the board and Pollack fired 12,000. Buxhoeveden quickly called and showed {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a straight. Pollak mucked his hand and Buxhoeveden dragged the pot.
