Ponakovs Wounds Addamo

Michael Addamo raised to 55,000 from the cutoff. Aleksejs Ponakovs three-bet to 300,000 from the button. Addamo then took a couple of time banks before calling the three-bet.

Ponakovs rolled over the {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} but that was ahead as Addamo had the {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}. The turn was the {j-Spades} and the river the {6-Spades} to keep it clean for Ponakovs who took a chunk of Addamo's stack.

Ponakovs Calls Addamo's Bluff

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The final table continued to be the Michael Addamo vs Aleksejs Ponakovs show as action was on the river on a board reading {2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{3-Spades}{8-Clubs} and a modest pot of about 175,000 in the middle.

From the big blind Addamo made a big all in shove to put Ponakovs to the test under the gun. Pokankovs thought for about 20 seconds before calling.

Addamo showed the {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for nothing and Ponakovs tabled the {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and just like that the chip counts were flipped.
