Jerky For Catalano

Benjamin Pollack was first into the pot, and he shoved his remaining stack of about 60,000 in. Next door, Brent Catalano made the call, and the rest of the table folded out of the way. Pollack tabled {A-Diamonds} {10-Spades}, and he was not looking so good versus Catalano's {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts}.

The flop came down {9-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {8-Clubs}. "Ohhh, a little sweat!" said Pollack, seeming to enjoy this all-in predicament. He grinned and leaned in as the dealer burned and turned the {J-Diamonds}. "Oh. No sweat anymore," he realized. The river was a meaningless {2-Clubs}, and Catalano will enjoy the knockout and his Jack Link's prize pack full o' beef jerky.
