Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Benjamin Pollak limped from the hijack before Colin Robinson made it 7,000 on the button. Pollak responded with an all-in for 58,500 and was called by Robinson to be at risk as they went to a showdown.
Benjamin Pollak: A♠Q♠
Colin Robinson: A♣9♦
Pollak had Robinson in a bad spot, but the flop did bring some opportunities for a chop when it came 4♣A♥4♥ to give both players two pair.
The standings did not change on the 2♥ turn, as Pollak was ahead with his queen kicker.
Pollak sealed it on the Q♣ river to upgrade to an unnecessary higher two pair to secure the double up.
