Polk Doubles Through Kenney With Major Sweat

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Bryn Kenney opened to 5,500 on the button and Doug Polk shoved all in from the small blind for 35,500. He could see Kenney calculating.

"Really bad odds," Polk said.

"Really good odds," Kenney said. "With a really pretty hand."

Kenney slammed in calling chips and revealed {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Polk was slightly ahead with {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} but wasn't pleased.

"I'm so boned," he said.

The {5-Clubs}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts} kept it clean for him but the {10-Clubs} was the worst turn that still kept him in the lead. Polk rattled off the cards he had to dodge — eights, kings, queens, nines and clubs — and did so when the {10-Diamonds} hit.
