Polen Gets More than a Double-Up
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Middle position bet 32,000 and was called by the hijack. Steven Polen in the button took about two minutes before moving all in for 135,000. Middle position folded, but the hijack made the call.
Steven Polen: A♦9♥
Hijack: A♠10♠
Polen was behind, but his dread soon turned into relief after drilling a nine on the 9♦8♥5♥ flop. The hijack couldn't catch up after the A♥Q♠ completed the board and Polen almost tripled up.
