Ponakovs Doubles Through Novak

Level 16 : 10,000/20,000, 2,500 ante

Marius "DEX888" Gierse opened to 42,000 in the cutoff and Andrey "Anjeyyy" Novak flat-called on the button. Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs got it in for 412,811 in the big blind and that forced out Gierse. Novak, however, called and they were flipping.

Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Andrey "Anjeyyy" Novak: {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}

Ponakovs struck gold on the {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop and retained his lead throughout the {7-Diamonds} turn, the {6-Clubs} river was no threat either.

Just prior to that, Paul "Fold Machiii" Dando had doubled in a flip with {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} against the {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} of Pablo "pabritz" Brito Silva. The {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} board kept the queens in the lead.
