Huge Three-Way All-In Hand Cripples Pollak, Triples Savard
A huge hand just went down at Table 31 that certainly shook up the table dynamics.
Jean-Pascal Savard was enjoying a massage when he raised to 4,000 from the hijack. Shai Liu, perhaps steaming after doubling up Jason Les a short time earlier (at least that is how it could have been interpreted), then three-bet all in for 101,600 from the cutoff. Benjamin Pollak seemed suspicious and eyed up Liu before moving all in over the top from the button. The blinds both folded and then Savard surprised the entire table by snap-calling off for 105,900.
Savard: 
Liu: 
Pollak: 
Liu actually held a legitimate hand, and his overbet would have worked against Pollak. Unfortunately for him, Savard held the granddaddy of all hands and scooped the pot after the board ran out a clean 
.
Pollak was crippled on the hand while Liu was eliminated from the tournament.
