Ponakovs Uses His 'One Time' Against Ding

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action folded to Aleksejs Ponakovs who moved all in from the small blind. Biao Ding peeled his cards in the big blind, first turning over the 9 followed by the A as he called.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: A3 All in
Biao Ding: A9

"No," Ding said as the K42 flop gave Ponakovs hope with a straight draw. The turn was the 6, while the 3 river gave Ponakovs a pair and the pot as Ding was left extremely short-stacked.

"I used my one time," Ponakovs said.

Ding was left with just 20,000 and was eliminated shortly afterward.
