Gerrits Holds For a Big Double Versus Pollak

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Ivan Luca opened the action with a raise to 230,000 from early position and saw Martijn Gerrits three-bet in the next seat to 700,000. Benjamin Pollak was next to act and thought for a couple of minutes before he cold four-bet to 1.35 million. The action folded back around to Luca, and he quickly folded, which meant Gerrits had a big decision to make.

Gerrits gave himself a minute to think before he moved all in for 2.74M and Pollak called.

Martijn Gerrits: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Benjamin Pollak: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Board: {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

It was a classic race, and although Gerrits held his lead on the flop, Pollak had hit the nut flush draw. It was to be a tense few moments for Gerrits, but he came through with the full double after the board bricked for last year's Main Event bronze medalist Pollak.

Le Takes from Fletcher; Lynskey From Hutter

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

On the tail end of a bigger pot over on Table 447, Clayton Fletcher in the big blind check-called a bet of almost one million by Nghia Le with the completed board showing {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Le rolled over the {9-Spades}{7-Spades} and Fletcher mucked, then laughed and said, "Well, I can't put you on that."

Alex Lynskey defended his big blind and invested 675,000 on the {J-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{A-Spades} turn against Barry Hutter. Both then opted to check the {K-Spades} on the river and Lynskey turned over {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for top pair, which was good enough to claim the pot and further build his stack.

Joe Cada
Joe Cada

On the button, Joe Cada opened with a raise to 220,000. Volodymyr Drokin called in the big blind.

The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Drokin checked to Cada who put out a bet of 250,000. Drokin called.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and Drokin decided to lead out, making it 340,000. Cada raised, making it 1,180,000. Drokin thought for quite some time, then called.

The river was the {10-Hearts} and Drokin checked. Cada moved all in for about 2,870,000 effective, what was left of Drokin's stack. Drokin tanked for over five minutes but eventually he settled on a fold. Cada raked in the pot to move over seven million chips with no showdown.

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante
Mike Jukich
Mike Jukich

Mike Jukich shoved all in for 1,380,000 in the cutoff. Ubaid Habib looked at his cards in the small blind and then confidently announced a call. The big blind mucked. Jukich was dominated with {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} against {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. The {q-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop switched up Jukich's outs and he called for a jack-ball. One arrived: {j-Spades}.

"Easy," he said.

The river was the {2-Spades} and Jukich doubled.
