Foxen and Pollak Trade Chips Back and Forth

Level 18 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Benjamin Pollak raised to 110,000 on the button and Alex Foxen defended the big blind, then check-called a bet of 90,000 on the {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{7-Spades} flop. Both checked the {5-Clubs} turn and Foxen bet the {10-Spades} river for 280,000. Pollak called and was shown the {A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for aces and fives by Foxen.

"I had an ace also, almost wanted to lead the turn," Pollak said.

Soon after, the turn showed {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and both invested 125,000. The {9-Clubs} fell on the river and Foxen checked. Pollak now bet 370,000 and Foxen used one time bank before making the call. Pollak revealed {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a straight and gained back the chips he had previously lost to Foxen.
