Polk Flops the Nuts and Sends One Home

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Doug Polk
Doug Polk

With about 12,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading {K-}{J-}{9-}, 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: {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Lex: {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Polk had flopped the nut straight and Lex was trailing with one pair and a gutshot to the chop. The {A-} on the turn was no help to Lex and the {9-Diamonds} river ensured that Polk would scoop the pot to eliminate his opponent.
