Pollak and Rheem Get in a Race

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Benjamin Pollak and Chino Rheem got all of their chips in the middle preflop and when the stacks were counted, it was Pollak at risk with 680,000. The cards were tabled and Pollak showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} up against Rheem's {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Pollak instantly took the lead with two pair. The turn was the {10-Spades} giving Rheem a few more outs, but the {9-Spades} on the river was no help. Pollak doubled up and Rheem was left with just 10 big blinds.
