Ponakovs Doubles Through Holz
Level 23
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Fedor Holz raised it up to 120,000 on the button and Aleksejs Ponakovs defended the big blind, after which the short stack got it in for 180,000 on the 
flop and Holz obliged.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: 
Fedor Holz: 
Ponakovs had a gutshot and two live cards at his disposal, one of which he hit on the 
turn. The 
river was a blank and Ponakovs doubled.
Holz claimed most of the chips back when he raised to 120,000 on the next hand. Steve O'Dwyer called from the big blind and check-folded the 
flop.
