Looking down at A♥4♥, Doug Polk raised to 5,000. Nikolai Mamut called in the big blind with 9♣5♠.
The action checked through on the 5♦10♦2♥ flop, and the 5♣ joined the board.
Mamut led out for 6,700, and Polk called.
The 8♠ completed the board, and Mamut opted not to slow down, instead putting 23,000 into the middle. Polk wasted no time in calling, and Mamut pulled closer in the match-up.
