Doug Polk raised to 45,000 on the button with {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and was called by Steffen Sontheimer in the big blind who defended lightly with {7-Spades}{3-Spades}.

An action flop hit the felt in {a-Spades}{j-Spades}{2-Spades} giving Sontheimer a flush and Polk a set of jacks. Sontheimer check-called a bet of 38,000 and the {9-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

Sontheimer checked again and Polk fired 138,000 this time. Sontheimer just called and the river was the {j-Diamonds}. Sontheimer checked for the third time and Polk made a bet of 235,000. Sontheimer snapped him off only to have Polk table quads.
