Polk Wins with Best Kicker

Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Doug Polk raised to 5,000 on the button and called a three-bet from the big blind worth 15,000.
The flop showed 6?7?4? and Polk called his opponents continuation for 12,000. When the 6? paired the board on the turn, the big blind fired 35,000 and Polk took a minute and called.
The J? on the river went check-check. The big blind flipped over A?9? but Polk held A?Q? for the best kicker and received the pot.
