Remz Rivers Trips, Eliminates Ponakovs and Polk

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

On the button, Aleksejs Ponakovs bet 42,000 leaving behind 6,000 chips. Small blind Sean Remz raised to 140,000 sending Jordan Polk in the big blind with only 206,000 behind to the tank. Polk ultimately called and Ponakovs put his remaining chips in, leading all three players to the flop.

The dealer fanned out 3109, Remz bet 200,000 and Polk called for his tournament life.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: JJ62 All in
Jordan Polk: KQJ10 All in
Sean Remz: A985

Ponakovs was in the lead with pocket jack but both Polk and Remz had outs to improve. The turn was a 6 and the river 9 fell giving Remz trips and sending both Ponakovs and Polk to hit the rails together,
