Tollerene Takes Out Ponakovs
Level 15
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel opened to 50,000 from the cutoff with 10♣9♦ and was called by Ben Tollerene on the button. Aleksejs Ponakovs then shoved for 440,000 from the small blind, which got a fold from Thorel, but a quick call from Tollerene to be put at risk.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: Q♣J♣
Ben Tollerene: A♦Q♠
It was unfortuante timing from Ponakovs, as he found himself dominated by Tollerene's ace-queen.
The 2♥8♥7♥A♠5♣ runout was of no help to Ponakovs and we was forced to surrender his stack over to Tollerene.
