Polk Spikes a Two-Outer to Take Massive Lead
Level 47
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Doug Polk raised to 45,000 on the button and Chris Brewer three-bet to 180,000 out of the big blind. Polk responded with a four-bet to 490,000. Brewer thought for a minute and then five-bet shoved all in. Polk snapped off for the smaller stack and the cards were on their backs.
Doug Polk: Q♠Q♥
Chris Brewer: K♠K♥
The flop came 8♥6♠5♣ and Brewer was still in a dominating lead with his pocket kings. The 5♠ on the turn left Polk drawing to just two outs. The Q♦ peeled off on the river and the rail erupted as Polk did a double lap to give everyone high fives. Polk collected a massive double-up and left Brewer on just a few big blinds.
