Polk Flops the Nuts and Sends One Home
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
With about 12,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading 
, Doug Polk bet 6,200 from under the gun and James Lex raised to 20,000 from the cutoff. Polk jammed and Lex quickly called to put himself at risk.
Polk: 
Lex: 
Polk had flopped the nut straight and Lex was trailing with one pair and a gutshot to the chop. The 
on the turn was no help to Lex and the 
river ensured that Polk would scoop the pot to eliminate his opponent.
