Pollak Puts Zhou to the Test

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Christian Pham raised to 275,000 from middle position and got calls from Benjamin Pollak in the hijack and Zu Zhou in the small blind.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and all three players checked to the {4-Diamonds} on the turn. Both Zhou and Pham checked. Pollak bet 455,000 and Zhou put in a check-raise to 1,375,000. Pham agonized over the decision and eventually folded. Pollak asked for a confirmation of the bet and called.

The river was the {j-Diamonds} and Zhou paused for a moment before deciding to check. Pollak stared him down and reached into his stack to put out a bet worth 550,000. Zhou folded.
