Reard Flops Well to Double Through Pollak

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Alexandre Reard limped from the cutoff, and Benjamin Pollak raised to 680,000 on the button. Once the action was back on Reard, he moved all in for less than 20 big blinds, and Pollak quickly called.

Alexandre Reard: {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Benjamin Pollak: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

Reard was in need of help, and his rail was asking for a six. They got not only one of them but two on the {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop. The double-up was confirmed with the {5-Hearts} turn, making the {Q-Diamonds} river a formality.

Reard's double was for 3,875,000, and Pollak took yet another hit to his stack.
