On a board reading {K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Hearts} with roughly 24,000 in the middle, Sam Grafton bet out 12,100 from the button following a check from Doug Polk in the small blind.

Both of them continued to talk as Polk listed possible hand combinations that both players could have.

Eventually Polk called and Grafton tabled his {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} for top pair.

"Quite good. Quite good," stated Polk before mucking.

"Hey, PokerNews. Could you title this 'Doug Polk pays off another river'!" stated Grafton as he looked in the direction of our PokerNews reporter.

"Yeah, and then in parenthesis after it put, 'when will he learn'," added Polk.

"Look, ESPN are worried. They want to speed up this level. They're saying, if Doug sees another few rivers, he may be out!" laughed Grafton as he gestured toward the ESPN camera crew standing nearby.
