Steinert Ships Polk Out With a Boat
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
As recounted by Jason Steinert and Doug Polk, a player in middle position opened to 1,000 and Steinert three-bet to 3,000 from the cutoff. Polk cold four-bet to 7,000 on the button, which got a fold from the original raiser and a call from Steinert.
Steinert check-called a 4,000 bet from Polk on the 7♠7♦J♠ flop and checked again on the 5♦ turn.
Polk then moved all in for his remaining stack and Steinert snap-called to put Polk at risk.
Doug Polk: K♠K♥
Jason Steinert: J♦J♥
Polk was drawing to two outs, but no miracle came on the 9♣ river — sending the large pot over to Steinert and eliminating Polk from the Main Event.
