Level 21
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Polk was in bad spot, and things didn't look too promising on the flop. The
turn provided Polk a gutshot straight draw, but it didn't come in as the
blanked on the river.
Polk, who invested two bullets in this tournament, was eliminated in fourth place for AU$860,000 and showed the poker world that he's not just a high-stakes online pro.
