Ponakovs Can't Stop the Bleed
Level 34
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
David Kaufmann raised 900,000 with A♥10♥ from the small blind, and Aleksejs Ponakovs called from the big blind with 5♠2♠.
Both players connected on the A♠A♦2♦ flop, with Kaufmann's trip aces ahead. He bet 400,000 and was called.
The 7♣ turn left Ponakovs drawing dead, but he called another bet of 1,500,000 to leave him with just over 3,000,000. The 6♦ river completed the board and Kaufmann put his opponent all-in, but Ponakovs decided against the hero call and folded his hand.
