Up and Down for Pollak
Level 25
: 175,000/350,000, 300,000 ante
Benjamin Pollak opened to 700,000 from middle position and Garik Tamasian three-bet to 3,575,000 in the big blind. Pollak used up a time extension and then shoved all in, prompting a snap-call from Tamasian for his remaining stack of 8,625,000. Pollak held 
but ran into the 
of Tamasian. The board ran out 
and Tamasian scored a double up.
A couple of hands later, Justin Bonomo raised to 1,000,000 on the button and Pollak defended from the big blind. The flop fell 
and Pollak shoved all in for 1,825,000. Bonomo did some quick math in his head and then made the call. Pollak showed 
and was ahead of Bonomo's 
. The 
on the turn and the 
on the river changed nothing as Pollak survived elimination.
