Ponakovs Clashes With O'Dwyer
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer four-bet jammed into Aleksejs Ponakovs, who had just arrived to balance the last ten players and quickly called it off for the 675,000 he had behind.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: 
Steve O'Dwyer: 
The superior pair stayed out in front all the way on the 
board as O'Dwyer had to forfeit essentially half of his stack, sending Ponakovs into the top spot.
