Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action folded around to Doug Polk in the small blind, who opted to move all in for 92,000. The player in the big blind made the call with a covering stack to put Polk at risk.
Doug Polk: A♠9♠
Big Blind: K♣5♣
Polk was ahead with the ace but needed to fade two live cards from his opponent. The board ran out 6♠2♥7♥2♣10♦ and Polk secured a full double up, extending his Main Event run.
"Take that you vultures!" Polk joked to the crowd of spectators that had gathered around to watch the board run out. "The gazelle got away!"
