Crane Adds to Pollack's Pain
Ryan Pollack and Russell Crane were just involved in a large one.
By the river the board was all black, the five community cards 
. The pot had grown to about 15,000, and Pollack pushed out a bet of 2,500 hoping that would be enough to claim it. Crane had other thoughts in mind, however, raising Pollack with a total bet of 13,200.
Pollack went into the tank. "How much do you have left?" he asked with a smile, then waved his hand to indicate he was joking as Crane had considerably more. Pollack -- playing from a kneeling position because of his recent back surgery -- seemed to be more pained by Crane's bet than his sore back.
Finally he called, and Crane quickly showed 
for a club flush. "Good hand," said Pollack wearily, was down to just 10,100 after paying that one off. Crane, meanwhile, is up around 80,000.
Unfortunately for Pollack, he'd lose his remaining chips shortly thereafter, hitting the rail just as the field had shrunk to 200.
