The action was folded around to Doug Polk in the small blind, who jammed all-in for his remaining 86,000. The big blind looked down at his cards and quickly made the call. "That's not what I wanted to hear," Polk announced.

His opponent tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, but Polk had two live cards with {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}. The board ran out {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Polk was able to catch a nine on the turn to stay alive.

"That's why you limit your preflop calling range to jacks, queens, kings. Ace-king? That's not even a pair." Polk chuckled a little while his opponent didn't seem to find the humor.
