WPH #563: Doug Polk Bets $130,000 & He’s SHOCKED!

Facing an overbet when you don’t have the nuts is never a fun situation. Now imagine that overbet is for $130,000! Businessman Bill Perkins had trip aces against Doug Polk on The Lodge Live Stream in a huge pot where the poker pro put Bill in the blender with a gigantic river bet for over 3 times the size of the pot. Will the wealthiest man at the table be able to make the right decision? If you’re going to opt for an overbet on the turn, it’s usually best when the turn card brings in the potential for a lot of draws, like a backdoor flush draw or a backdoor straight draw. You should apply a lot of pressure to your opponents’ holdings and force them to make a mistake if they call as they will be getting the incorrect odds to hit their draw.

Preflop: With an $800 straddle on, Doug Polk raises to $2,000 from the hijack with A6 of spades. Bulldog calls with KJo from the small blind. Bill Perkins defends from the under-the-gun straddle with A8o, and they head to the flop three-way. Flop – Ad Qs 6c: Bulldog checks first after flopping a gutshot straight draw to broadway. Perkins also checks with his top pair. Polk manages to flop best with top and bottom pair. He fires out a continuation bet of $3,400, and both Bulldog and Bill make the call to see the turn. Turn – 5h: The 5 of hearts on the turn doesn’t change anything in the hand. Bulldog checks with his gutshot straight draw to the nuts. Perkins checks with his pair of aces. Doug continues to fire ou but this time with a huge overbet to the tune of $20,500 with his two pair. Bulldog correctly throws his cards into the muck, but Perkins calls once more and they head to the river. River – Ah: The board-pairing A of hearts on the river is disastrous for Perkins. He improves to trip aces but is behind to the full house of Polk. After Perkins checks Doug decides to bet $132,200 putting Perkins all-in, an overbet of more than two-times the size of the pot. Perkins shows the ace of clubs, but will he end up folding to Doug’s greedy bet, or will he think it is a bluff and pay him off? Stay to the end of this poker video to find out.
