Polk's Consolation Prize Wins Him the Pot

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Matt Hyman raised to 15,000 from the button and Doug Polk called from the big blind. The flop came {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {6-Spades} on the turn.

Polk led out for 21,000 and Hyman called. The river was the {j-Clubs} and Polk bet again for 53,000. Hyman thought for a brief moment then tossed in a chip to call. Polk missed his straight draw with {j-Spades}{7-Spades} but hit a jack on the river. Hyman angrily mucked his cards and the pot was shipped to Polk.
