Aido Says Adios to Polk

From the hijack, Doug Polk opened to 5,500 and Sergio Aido defended his big blind.

The dealer spread a flop and Polk continued for 6,000 with Aido check-calling.

The turn landed the and Aido again checked to Polk who bet 16,000. Aido responded with a check-raise to 45,000 and Polk called as the completed the board on the river.

Aido slid out a stack of blue 5,000-denomination chips amounting to a bet of 80,000; which was enough to put Polk all in.

"Might as well use one of these!" announced Polk as he threw in one his time extension buttons.

Polk then began cutting his stack down to reveal he had 67,000 remaining, and then eventually opted to push it all in to make the call for this tournament life.

Aido revealed his for a runner-runner straight, and Polk nodded a few times, re-checked his holdings, and then folded.
