Nikolaev Doubles; Ponakov Busts

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Rens Feenstra had a kicker problem with {A-Spades}{2-Diamonds} against the {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} of Pavel Nikolaev and the board of {J-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} failed to improve the Dutchman, who had to forfeit 119,000 as a result.

Almost at the same time on a different table, Rosen Angelov limped the button and Aleksey Ponakov raised to 31,000 in the big blind. Angelov moved all in and Ponakov called.

Aleksey Ponakov: {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Rosen Angelov: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The board of {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{4-Spades}{7-Diamonds} left Ponakov's hand second-best and he was sent to the rail.
