Pollak Flummoxed By Bauer
Level 5
: 300/600, 600 ante
Kevin Pollak raised to 1,400 from under the gun, and only Thomas Bauer in the big blind called.
Both players checked the ![]()
![]()
flop, and Bauer bet 2,500 on the
turn. Pollak called.
Bauer bet 4,500 on the
river, sending Pollak deep into the tank.
"Your story is that you flopped a flush?" Pollak asked Bauer. "If you don't have a flush, you lose."
Bauer remained nonplussed, even after Pollak took a few moments to stare Bauer down. A few minutes passed before a clock was called, and with a few seconds left on the clock, Pollak folded ![]()
faceup. Bauer mucked without showing and took down the pot.
