First Heads Up All-In Sees Ponakovs Double Up
Level 17
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
All of the chips went in the middle with Daniel Smiljkovic on the button and Aleksejs Ponakovs in the big blind, with Ponakovs being at risk with 470,000 chips.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: K♣Q♦
Daniel Smiljkovic: A♦9♦
Ponakovs was the one to flop a pair on K♥7♦5♥, and the 7♥ turn helped neither player. The 3♥ river also blanked, and Ponakovs raked in the double-up, making the heads up an almost even affair.
