Doug Polk Spikes River Two Outer vs Brewer

Doug Polk raised to 45,000 on the button and Chris Brewer three-bet to 180,000 out of the big blind. Polk responded with a four-bet to 490,000. Brewer thought for a minute and then five-bet shoved all in. Polk snapped off for the smaller stack and the cards were on their backs.

Doug Polk: Q?Q?
Chris Brewer: K?K?

The flop came 8?6?5? and Brewer was still in a dominating lead with his pocket kings. The 5? on the turn left Polk drawing to just two outs. The Q? peeled off on the river and the rail erupted as Polk did a double lap to give everyone high fives. Polk collected a massive double-up and left Brewer on just a few big blinds.
