Ponakovs Picks Up Aces to Double

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Artsion Lasouski raised to 6,000 in the hijack and Aleksejs Ponakovs called in the cutoff. Atanas Malinov then three-bet to 26,000 in the big blind and Lasouki folded. Ponakovs, though, moved all in for 40,000 and Malinov snap-called.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♥A♣ All in
Atanas Malinov: 9♥9♣

"Very professional short-stack player," Ren Lin said as Ponakovs showed down two aces. The A♠5♣3♣ flop gave him top set, while the rest of the board ran out J♥2♣ to earn him a double up.
