Hand #161: Dan Ott raised to 4.4 million on the button and Benjamin Pollak defended his big blind. The flop came {7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} and Pollak checked, as did Ott. The turn was the {9-Spades} and Pollak moved all in. Ott folded.

Hand #162: Scott Blumstein raised it up to 4 million on the button, Pollak mucked his small blind and Ott called from the big blind. The flop came {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Ott checked. Blumstein bet 3.5 million and Ott called. The turn was the {2-Hearts}. Ott checked and Blumstein paused before checking back. The river was the {a-Clubs} and Ott checked for a third time. Blumstein bet 10.5 million and Ott folded.

Hand #163: Pollak moved all in for 27,775,000 on the button and Ott and Blumstein folded from the small and big blinds.

Hand #164: Ott folded his button and Blumstein moved all in from the small blind, clearly putting Pollak to the test for his remaining 31,675,000 chips. Pollak tanked for a minute and called.

Benjamin Pollak: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Scott Blumstein: {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

Pollak was at risk and ahead with ace-three of diamonds, up against the five-four of clubs of Blumstein.

Pollak hopped over the rail to stand with his supporters as he awaited his fate.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Pollak remained ahead with ace-high.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and Pollak picked up a flush draw to take away some of Blumstein's outs.

The river was the {10-Diamonds} and Pollak completed his flush for good measure to double through and climb into second place in chips.
