Polk Drills the Turn to Stay in the Match
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 0 ante
Alex Keating raised the button to 5,000 and Doug Polk three-bet from the big blind to 15,000. Keating called to see the dealer fan out the 6♠7♦2♣ flop.
Polk checked and Keating opted to bet 10,000. Polk check-jammed for around 71,500, which got called by Keating.
Doug Polk: 9♠8♥
Alex Keating: 10♠7♠
Keating held top pair against the overcards and straight draw of Polk.
Polk received instant service on the 10♦ turn by improving to the nuts. Keating still had outs to a full house, but he missed them on the 4♠ river, meaning Polk secured the double-up.
