No Big Pots Hold'em

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

A lot of raise and take its, and a lot of checking post flop. There will be a twenty minute break in five minutes, where we'll count all the stacks.

Benjamin Pollak Eliminated in 5th (�219,000)

Benjamin Pollak

Ihar Soika opened to 240,000 from the under the gun position, the minimum raise. Action folded to Benjamin Pollak in the big blind. He announced all in, and before we could count, Soika had made the call.

It looked like about 1.8 million, but even it were ten times that, Soika would have called as he had {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}. Pollak turned over {9-Spades}{10-Spades}.

The {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}-flop gave Pollak some hope, but all that vanished with the {A-Hearts} on the turn. The {9-Clubs} on the river was there just to put some salt in the Frenchman's wound.

Benjamin Pollak leaves in fifth place, taking home �219,000. The remaining four players are guaranteed �276,900.
