Gerrits Holds For a Big Double Versus Pollak
Ivan Luca opened the action with a raise to 230,000 from early position and saw Martijn Gerrits three-bet in the next seat to 700,000. Benjamin Pollak was next to act and thought for a couple of minutes before he cold four-bet to 1.35 million. The action folded back around to Luca, and he quickly folded, which meant Gerrits had a big decision to make.
Gerrits gave himself a minute to think before he moved all in for 2.74M and Pollak called.
Martijn Gerrits: 
Benjamin Pollak: 
Board: 
It was a classic race, and although Gerrits held his lead on the flop, Pollak had hit the nut flush draw. It was to be a tense few moments for Gerrits, but he came through with the full double after the board bricked for last year's Main Event bronze medalist Pollak.
