Pollak Sends Becker to the Rail

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Benjamin Pollak started the day as one of the shortest stacks with just 218,000, and he has since done plenty of work at the tables. In a recent hand, Johannes Becker just called a raise to 55,000 by Pollak and checked the {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop. Pollak continued for 45,000 and was called before the German also check-called the {6-Hearts} turn for 125,000.

The {K-Hearts} river completed the board and Becker checked for the third time. Pollak bet 350,000 and Becker moved all in to receive a snap-call by Pollak. Becker rolled over {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} for a set of kings on the river, while the very same card gave Pollak the nut straight with {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.
