Polk Smacks the Flop to Take Out Kono, Compliments Him After
Level 27
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Reiji Kono was all in for around 130,000 as Doug Polk had him at risk.
Reiji Kono: A?J?
Doug Polk: A?10?
Polk found himself dominated, but that all changed in a big way once the dealer turned over the Q?10?10? flop. Polk made trips, while Kono was left hoping for a straight but got no help on the 5? turn or 4? river.
"Very talented end there. Very talented," Polk said. "You're a tough opponent. You fight hard," he told Kono as the two opponents shook hands at the end of the match.
