Yakuba Finishes Pollak
Level 13
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Anton Yakuba was all in when we got to his table, occupying the big blind and facing only Benjamin Pollak, his small blind neighbor. Pollak had put in what appeared to be a three-bet to 19,500 and was considering if he should call off his last 55,000 or so. He dropped it in after some thought.
Pollak: 
Yakuba: 
The door card was the 
that Pollak dreaded and it was followed by 
. The 
turn helped Pollak a bit but the 
river neither filled his straight nor brought a third jack.
