Aleksejs Ponakovs Eliminated in 8th Place

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs
Aleksejs Ponakovs

Aleksejs Ponakovs started the action with a raise to 12,000 from early position. Two seats to his left, Juan Pardo put in a three-bet to 30,000. Action folded back to Ponakovs, who, after surveying the situation, moved all in for roughly 115,000. Pardo made the call, putting Ponakovs at risk.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: AK All in
Juan Pardo: AJ

Pardo received the bad news that his hand was dominated, but quickly found hope when the flop 6Q2 gave him a flush draw.

The turn A sealed the deal, completing Pardo's flush, leaving Ponakovs drawing dead.

The dealer added the inconsequential 3 river to the board, as Ponakovs was already heading to the exit.
