Pollak Triples His Short Stack
Nivel 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Benjamin Pollak opened to 65,000 from early position, committing nearly his entire stack. Thomas Eychenne called in the hijack and Boris Angelov called from the small blind.
The flop came A♣Q♣10♣ and action checked around to Eychenne who bet 40,000. Angelov got out of the way while Pollak called off for less.
"I think I have you" Pollak told his opponent before the cards were flipped over.
Benjamin Pollak: K♣J♦ 
Thomas Eychenne: A♥Q♠
Eychenne had a big hand with aces-up, but Pollak had flopped the nut straight. Eychenne was unable to fill up when the rest of the board ran out 7♦5♥ and Pollak dragged in a full triple up.
