Doug Polk's Nines Are Good
Niveau 5
: 250/500, 75 ante
Doug Polk, in the cutoff, opened to 1,200. Mike Matusow three-bet to 2,600 on the button. Polk called. The flop came 
and was checked through to the 
turn and 
river. Polk checked.
''I have to look to see if I can bet,'' commented Matusow.
''It's 50/50'' answered Polk.
Matusow peeked at his cards and threw in a bet of 1,600. After a few seconds of reflection and of talking to Matusow without getting an answer, Polk continued, ''I'm such a nice guy, I am gonna pay you off''. He proceeded to call.
''I have ace-high'' said Matusow, tabling 
. Polk showed 
, laughed, and commented, ''This was a beautiful bet!'' raking in the pot.
