Joiner Tries to Bet Pollak Off Aces
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Hugh Joiner and Craig Pollak built a pot of around 120,000 as they went heads-up to the Q♥Q♠9♣ flop. Pollak then bet 40,000 in early position, and Joiner called in the big blind.
Both players checked the K♥ turn. Joiner then led out for 90,000 on the 6♣ river, and Pollak quickly called.
Joiner showed 5♦5♠, but Pollak had A♥A♦ to win the pot.
