Roller Coaster for Poonhath
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Rajeev Poonhath had lost a big portion of his stack fo Hennie Appel early on and was then all-in with a short stack of only 51,000 against Christopher Dean. His A♦6♦ needed help against 9♦9♠ and the Q♦10♠6♠3♦2♦ board delivered the double via flush.
In a battle of the blinds with SM soon after, both made two pair to the J♠7♠2♥6♦ turn. The 6♠2♣ of Poonhath in the big blind were in trouble against J♣7♣ and the 4♦ river confirmed the double for the Sultan of Swings.
