Pollak Rides a Rollercoaster of a Hand
Niveau 4
: 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Benjamin Pollak raised to 4,000 from the cutoff and Adrian Mateos three-bet to 20,000 out of the big blind. Pollak counted out his remaining chips and then shipped all in for 78,000. Mateos promptly called and the cards were on their backs.
Benjamin Pollak: 
Adrian Mateos: 
Pollak held the dominating hand but the flop fell 
giving Mateos a pair of queens and the lead in the hand. Pollak held the lone heart, giving him the only flush draw. The 
on the turn changed nothing but the 
on the river gave Pollak a flush as he earned the double up.
