Actor Comedian Kevin Pollak Done In By Pocket Aces
A few days before the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event, actor Kevin Pollak, who finished 134th in this event back in 2012, sent out an interesting tweet. You see, in year's past the comedian had been sponsored by Hollywood Poker, but that deal had expired. As such, Pollak wanted to inquire if any other outlets were interested in putting him in the Main Event in exchange for some publicity.
Enter Chuck Fried, president of TxMQ, a Buffalo, New York company, that jumped on the opportunity. It was a strange and well-timed tale, which ESPN's Andrew Feldman explored in depth. With a newfound sponsor, Pollak was back in action and he made the most of it making it here to Day 3. Unfortunately that is where is adventure will end.
Pollak had been nursing a short stack all day when he finally decided to shove his last 36,100 from the hijack over the top of a 4,500 raise from Patrick Coughlin. Action folded back to Coughlin, who made a quick call.
Coughlin: 
Pollak: 
"I'm done," Pollak said as he got up out of his chair. The ESPN cameras were swarming the table as Pollak put his hand on his head. "Ah, I'm dead," Pollak exclaimed when the 
flop failed to provide any glimmer of hope.
The 
turn actually left him drawing dead, and after the 
was put out on the river, Pollak's 2014 WSOP Main Event came to an end.
"What timing," Pollak said as he shook hands with everyone at the table. "They were the only good-looking cards I've seen in two hours. Good luck everybody."
With that, the celebrity took the long lonely walk out of the Brasilia Room.
