What happens to a pole?

If the portal approach you as you hold it then the other end needs to be moving in it's local space outside the second portal. That means it is given momentum which must come from the portal, likely taken from the momentum of the first portal which is moving. Also, the far end of the pole will likely experience a degree of inertia and push on the end you're holding (at an equivalent of half the speed of the portal).
