Aleksejs Ponakovs Eliminated in 5th Place (€410,400)
Level 20
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 725,000 with just 75,000 behind. Espen Jorstad announced raise from the button, and when it folded back to Ponakovs, he called to put himself at risk.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: K♠J♠ 
Espen Jorstad: A♠K♣
Ponakovs was dominated by Jorstad's big slick heading to the A♦J♣8♥ flop where both players improved to a pair. The 6♦ turn and 5♥ river didn't help Ponakovs, and he headed to the rail to collect his fifth-place payout.
